Independence Day 2012

 I just scrolled through all the pictures I have taken since this day... and wow I have a lot to catch up on.  This is really my family history so I need to get it done... and it will happen, just a little slowly.  So now we get to celebrate the 4th of July in December.

We started the day off with a trip to the store and Adam loved pushing his bear in the cart.

We ate some lunch and in the parking lot was a fire truck and Adam loved checking it out.

At the mall we gave into the special offers at Build a Bear and Adam got to make a special USA bear we call Blue.

 After a little nap we headed up to my parents for a BBQ.

My mom made this fun cookie pie!  Oh how I love fruit in the summer... This is making my mouth water right now.
We then went to the park to catch some fireworks.

We went a bit early to get some seats and it sure was fun to hang out with family.
They had a train running and the kids had such a fun time riding the train... and playing in the extra cars while waiting for it to be our turn.

 We only have 2 lawn chairs but Adam made sure he got one.  With Blue and a muffin he didn't need anything else.  He got a little nervous when the fireworks actually went off but we sure had fun and he talked about them for weeks.
