The 4th of July was a fun-filled, busy day. Our Olsen cousins, from Utah, had come to celebrate with us. First on the agenda was our neighborhood pancake breakfast and little parade. The kids got busy that morning and decorated their scooters...red, white and blue.
The neighborhood parade was so cute. There were scooters, bikes, trikes, wagons, etc. all patriotically decorated. Someone even had patriotic music playing as we walked/rode down the streets and sidewalks.
We all ended up at the central grass area for pancakes, juice and milk. It was a fun relaxing morning.
Next on the agenda was swimming. We all got suited up and went swimming in our neighborhood pool. 
Abree decided to do a little sunbathing after her swim.
Next we went to a family/friend BBQ. Some participated in tag football.
Some did the SUPER slide. We attached a sprinkler at the top of the slide and made it really slippery, then put a tarp at the end to splash in. 
Splashing in the wading pool.
A little more slippery fun.
Yummy picnic.
You gotta have watermelon at a 4th of July picnic, right?
And finally, fireworks.
It was a long day...but a fun day. Happy 4th of July!

What a fun 4th of July. Your neighborhood sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe I will have to start that up sometime in our neighborhood. Your kids are so cute. I love little Abree sunbathing:)
Hey we got another person in our ward that use to be in your old ward. Can't remember her name. She's kind of tall, skinny, and has a set of twins and was at (I believe) you b-day celebration last year at Mandy's??
Wow, Abree looks like a little adult, yikes! Very cute thought.
