Fourth of July

The Fourth of July was really fun.  We started out the holiday by decorating up Hayley's bike and Jackson's stroller and walking in the neighborhood parade in my mom's neighborhood.

 

Jackson was so into it, he couldn't be bothered to look at the camera for a picture.

 

He brightened up once we got to the park and he got a cookie from the treat table.

 

And he was mesmerized by the magic of the fishing pond.  He got a miniature rubber duckie that he carried around in his pocket and took out to kiss every so often.

 

Hayley got some snazzy shades.

 

We had good intentions to BBQ and go see some fireworks, and ended up not doing either.  After the parade in the morning, and Hayley being in the Magna parade that afternoon with her dance group from Jazzle Dazzle, we were kind of tuckered out.  The kids were already asleep, and Jeremy and I were in bed by the time the neighbors on our street started lighting off their fireworks.  I was getting annoyed until I realized that it was only 10:30 on the Fourth of July.  Then I just felt like an old lady who was trying to sleep at 10:30 on the Fourth of July.  Oh, well.  At least part of the day was fun!
