Our Independence Day 2014

We had a really fun trip planned for over the 4th of July but due to circumstances beyond our control we didn't get to go :(

So we improvised.

(I've actually become very adept at improvising. It comes in handy but it's kind of a crummy skill to have as the reason you would need it is you aren't getting to do what you had planned to do...)

But anyway...

We donned our 4th finery & headed to a local parade.




(yes. I am one of *those* people. Even the dog.)


What better way to end a parade than with a fire breathing dragon???

After the parade we had lunch





How cool is it that my new jars (thanks Gina!) perfectly match my pitcher?



Star shaped watermelon & black berry fruit salad.


After lunch we headed to the creek to enjoy the lovely 100+ degree weather (that's sarcasm folks).



Ahhhhh.



The creek is looooow.










Look! It's me! I'm in the water. A rare occurrence.






After the creek we set up for a Backyard Movie.




Fireworks are verboten here :(  so we did some snakes...



and ended our day with the perfect Independence Day movie...


Independence Day.
