It was quite a day for the kids on Independence Day. First, we went to the parade where we met Greta and Adam, Papa Ken and Bev, and Jesse and Paula and Parker and Jace. Next, we toured the Lake, eating corn dogs and fries and elephant ears, playing in a couple bouncy houses, and getting faces painted. After a short nap at home, we headed up to the Paul's for BBQ dinner, a 5-minute swim in a very cold pool, some horsey rides, and very big and loud fireworks (Tor did not like the big bangs, so Daddy took him inside). Jillian and Bridget stayed outside, though, and enjoyed the show.
