Happy 4th of July!

We had a very eventful holiday.

Sydney absolutely loved the 4th of July parade. (Maybe it was all the loot she got: balloon, flag, stickers, squirt gun, toothbrush, pen, pencil, cookies, cracker jacks and tons and tons of candy!)





Then we hung out at my mom and dad's for awhile

and acted a little silly:
and played with Charlie, Maddie's new kitten:

Amy gave a "4th of July Devotional"
(and then we watched Independence Day, a staple for a truly patriotic day).


Then we swam and had a BBQ at Grandma D.'s:



And finally, here is Sydney in her prism glasses to watch the fireworks. Oh yeah, she got prism glasses at the parade too!

These are so cute. I'm glad that Sydney is taking her civic duty seriously and voting for Porter. ;)

This was so much fun! Plus, Mom decided to use that freakish picture of Dad as our new desktop on our computer. What a fun 4th of July!

Cute pix, Ally! It was a fun and relaxing day. I put the goofy picture of Dad as my desktop and he really doesn't appreciate it!

Haha! I love all your pictures--so fun. And Sydney is dangerously cute... which probably explains all the loot she ended up with ;)
