Melissa had their 4th of July celebration yesterday {yes, it's super early}. We didn't make it last year, so we were excited to go check it out this year! Since our kiddos are still little, we decided to go early to beat the crowds. It was held at a park right near our neighborhood, so we were able to walk/take a wagon ride.
It was SUPER hot, so thankfully we were able to walk around and enjoy the festivities before there were too many people. There were several food trucks and some vendor booths...complete with baby chick prize giveaways and chicken poop bingo. Because, hello small town! Haha. Gross. Anyway, they had bounce houses for kids, but Eli and Maddie are not interested in those yet, so we headed to take photos with a puppy dog and a horse :)
Maddie got to wear a super hero cape
Eli wasn't too sure of the horse...
We walked around to see all the booths, and then we decided to eat dinner and enjoy a snow cone. Eli and Maddie tried a corn dog for the first time, and they LOVED that- especially because Grandma was sharing hers AND letting them dip it in mustard :)
Cutie Girl
Waving our flags, thankful for our freedom!
Hanging out with this cutie, trying not to melt :)
We headed home right as it started to get crowded. It had been a long day, and everyone was tired. We knew we wouldn't stay for the fireworks, but we still got to enjoy them, because they were RIGHT by our house {read: SUPER loud}. So we can just open our windows and enjoy the show from the comfort of our air conditioned home :)
