4th of July Recap

We had such a wonderful day celebrating our country's birthday yesterday! The day began with the Plano 4th of July parade with Mim and Poppa. Mim and Poppa live very close to the parade route, so we were able to just walk to the intersection where the parade would end. Jacob loved looking at all the cars and trucks, especially the fire engine!!

During the parade, they passed out American flags and Jacob wanted to hold all three at once!


After the parade, we went back to Mim and Poppa's house and spent the remainder of the morning and much of the afternoon in the pool. When Jacob woke up from his nap, he helped Poppa make homemade ice cream for our evening dessert and even got the first taste! Yum! We spent the rest of the day at Uncle Andy and Auntie Catherine's house playing, eating, and enjoying family. At the end of the day we were all pleasantly full from all the yummy food and worn out from a fun holiday!
