We celebrated another wonderful 4th of July with the family. It was a hot one, with temperatures reaching 100 degrees by mid-afternoon. The main road leading into the town where we watch the parade was already closed off by the time we arrived, so we had to walk almost a mile to get to our parade spot.
Amelia's number one goal was to collect enough candy to restock her treat bag; she was at the end of her Easter candy (finally)! While Amelia walked out with a big bag of candy, she lost most of it due to "flooding". The candy was starting to melt, so I threw it in the cooler so that it would survive the rest of the day in the car. However, the plastic bag had a hole so when the ice started to melt, the water seeped into the bag and flooded the Tootsie Rolls and other goodies. After getting home and when the girls weren't looking, I spilt Allison's stash between their two treat bags.
After the parade in the morning we headed to my sister's house for lunch, swimming and games. Despite the intense heat, it was a great afternoon. By the end of the day, the girls were happy to be home and relax in their rooms while playing with their Leapster games.
