Happy 4th!

We had a fun-filled weekend enjoying the local festivities and a few extra days off from work. I thought Claire would enjoy riding in the kids parade, so we decorated her bike and rode up to the start.

She was a little overwhelmed by all this kids and instead rode the parade route in the trailer refusing to wave at anyone. Fortunately, the day improved after that.

We then rode our bikes to the "candy parade" and Claire warmed up to the festivities.

Kyle loved the horses, trucks and motorcycles, as well as picking up candy the passersby threw.

We enjoyed a cook-out at some friends' and walked to the fireworks. I think we had the best seats I've ever had for a show. We kept Kyle up for them, which I wasn't sure about. He fussed for a long time before they started, but settled in and enjoyed the show. And immediately passed out in the stroller walking to the car.

The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and running a few errands. We replaced our broken hammock, and set up the pool.

And Claire starting riding a pedal bike! I was covering my mouth in shock the whole time as Lucian just let her go. Her balance bike has been awesome in teaching her to ride. We are so excited.



Claire had such a great weekend, she passed out on the kitchen floor at 6 o'clock. And now, back to the daily grind...
