What started out to be a boring day actually turned into a pretty fun one! We originally had no plans for the 4th because of Lane's work, but he found out last minute that he got the day off, so we kind of just played things by ear.
First thing this morning, we had a pancake breakfast with our church. They had a short little program with an appearance by Thomas Jefferson that was pretty cute. Then the kids rode in a small bike parade. We decorated Elliot's bike and she was so excited to be a part of it.
After Davis took a nap, we headed to Lane's parents house to spend some time with them. Grandma made Elliot a 4th of July hat that she is modeling here.
We capped off the night at my sister's house. All the cousins swam and we had awesome bbq made by my dad.
We decided to forgo fireworks this year since Davis is so young. I'm really sad that we missed them, but that's just how things go with a little one. I couldn't bare waking him up to take him out of the house just to be bombarded by a bunch of noise. Maybe next year. No wait, we'll have another little one by then. So unless we have a babysitter, it will probably be a few years before we get to see fireworks.

The bike parade sounds like fun.
Sounds like you were busy with church and family festivities all day!
I'm glad Lane got off. It's a bummer when they have to work on a holiday. Elliot looks cute on her bike. I remember decorating my bike on the 4th as a kid. It was so much fun! :-)
Sounds fun! I love the 4th.
