The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday. BBQs, summer
temperatures, and fireworks are pretty much how I wish I could spend every day!
So it was even better when this year’s celebration landed on a Monday and it
was a three day weekend of backyard partying. Saturday we went and loaded up on Fireworks
and had fun introducing Harper to “Little Poppers.” She wanted to step on them
again and again, after she realized she couldn’t throw them down hard enough.
She was SO excited by the little sound they made, and was even more impressed
by the sparklers. Sunday we lit off fireworks at my parent’s house where they
have the perfect lawn for it, and all fireworks are legal. Marcus’ sister and
their family came out too and we sat back and watched as Marcus and Chad nearly
had their arms blown off! Everyone loved the fireworks, and the “sparkler art.”
Monday started off with a pancake breakfast, then handing out otter pops at the
downtown Pasco parade, and then BBQ and swimming. Throughout the parade Harper’s
hand would shoot out of her stroller with an empty otter pop and I could hear
her saying “Od Pop, Od Pop!” which meant she wanted another. It was SO cute! We finished the night with
fireworks along the river, my favorite tradition, and came home and crashed. I
was so tired by the end of the night; I could tell the day’s events had
definitely caught up to me.
