4th Of July Fun!

We had a fun 4th of July last Saturday that began with a bike parade through our neighborhood! I organized it and we had about 4 families participate. Several decorated their bikes and we had a fun time riding the loop through our hood. Some neighbors were even sitting outside waving at us. Hopefully next year we can get a few more people to participate! You can watch some of our bike parade here!

After lunch we went out to my parents' house to swim and shoot off fireworks. We had a fun time doing that and managed to escape the pop-up storms that circled around us. Ross used my dad's flat top grill and made a super yummy Japanese steakhouse type dinner for us complete with chicken, steak, noodles, fried rice, and vegetables. It was sooo good! You can watch Ross grilling it up here!

Earlier in the week leading up to the 4th, we had some friends over to make 4th of July shirts. We all had a really fun time working on them and it was neat to see everyone's finished product. I had done this with some other friends when Molly was just a baby, so it was fun to do again!

Love, love, love this picture of Molly! It was her first 4th and she was 4 1/2 months old. :)
