4th of July wouldn't be the same without red, white, and blue themed desserts.
Wearing our flag's colors is also a must.
At this point I gave up on a group photo and decided that individual pictures would be better this year!
We took part in the annual fishing derby again this year... and again, no luck with actually catching any fish.
Paisley was more interested in the chocolate milk and powdered donuts that grandma brought.
Oliver was starting to get pretty down about not catching a fish... then they came around with root beer float and happiness was restored! (And for daddy too as he finished them off after the kids were done with them.)
We ventured down the the grade school parking lot to watch Horton's fireworks at the lake. It sounded like a good idea at the time. Oliver and Paisley got overly tired and whiny waiting for the fireworks to begin, but did like watching them. Their normal bedtime is 8:00, but we didn't get laid down until nearly 11:00. Needless to say, the next day was a disaster with overemotional kids, especially Paisley. Perhaps next year we will watch some fireworks videos on YouTube and call it a day.
