Since Kenzie's birthday, she has been counting down the days for 2 things: 1. Her 5th birthday and 2. The 4th of July. We had a day packed full of fun for the kiddos. Our first adventure was the neighborhood bike parade. Kenzie decorated her "big girl" bike (a 2 wheeler w/ training wheels, not the tricycle!), and Maddie got to ride in her stroller, and they both rode around the nighborhood with us and their friends. It was pretty uneventful, excpet for the firetruck that escorts the kids, they liked that! At the end, Kenzie was complaining that she was too hot, and that the parade was too short. You can never please that one!
After the parade, we went to the town's carnival where Kenzie (not Maddie, still too little!) got to go on an obstacle course, rode a train, and got her face painted with her buddies. It was so hot, the kids were frying, so they went home and took long naps!
Our city has a fireworks display every year and there's a huge park where everyone comes to watch them. We got there a little early and let the kids play. It was so crowded there were actually lines for the playground equipment! It seemed like every kid in the city had descended onto one park, crazy! Kenzie finally mastered the monkey bars, and she was really proud of herself! We watched the fireworks with my friend Gina's family, she has her two little boys that Kenzie just adores!
I was worried that Maddie would be scared of the fireworks, and hoped that she would love them....ummm how about NEITHER!!! She could have cared less. I spent most of the time chasing her around and bribing her with candy to sit still! Crazy baby!!!
Kenzie stayed on the monkey bars all night until it was time for fireworks, she loved it!
Can you believe how crowded that playground is? These kids were packed in there, and one of them would always fall off (Kenzie really liked it until she fell)
Me, Maddie, Kenz, Derek, Trev, and Zac (Derek and Trev's Dad) all watching fireworks. Dave is behind the camera!

That picture of Maddie, I can't believe it! She looks so grown up, and when did she get all that hair? Sorry I missed the 4th get together this year, it was always so fun.
