July 4th

We had a great 4th of July. We started out the morning by sleeping in a little:) Always a nice thing!! Then we packed up and headed to the parade. It was the first time I had been to our hometown 4th of July parade and it turned out to be a really great parade. We then walked around to all the small town festivities. Then we were off to a friends for a BBQ. We then finished the day off enjoying fireworks on the balcony of our friends apartment. I think Josiah enjoyed everything, right down to the fireworks. The next day was a little rough recovering from lack of sleep, but it was definately worth having a great Babies 1st 4th of July.


Getting all decked out his Babies 1st 4th of July clothing.

We even decked out the stroller in red, white and blue:)


Josiah loved the parade and so did we. It was our first home town parade and it was actually a very good parade. I was bummed there wasn't a marching band because it would have been fun to see Josiah react to the band...but he loved the bagpipe band.


He didn't get much sleep today, but he did catch a quick cat nap on our walk over to the island where we enjoyed an icecream and a blue grass band.

While we were at the parade, our good friends (Cosmo Christine and Marc) invited us over for a BBQ. We didn't have any plans for the afternoon and a 4th spent with friends is the best. The guys played a very serious game of crocket and the women sat around sipping on spiked lemonade:)

Probably one of the most adorable pictures I have taken yet of Josiah.
We ended the day at Cosmo Heather's apartment. She has a great view of the local fireworks from her balcony. The fireworks were a great way to end a great day. And it was a huge bonusto just get in and out and not have to deal with the crowds ...especially with a tired little buddy.
All in all a great 1st 4th!!!
