Happy Birthday America

July 4th came and went, and we had some great celebrations.  First, its not news to anyone in K.C., but it was hot.  Real hot.  Super hot.  High temps followed us throughout the day. 


Here is Ellie putting on her bike helmet, prepping for our neighborhood bike parade the morning of the 4th.
Tom Burgess was all ready for the parade as well.  He has a brand new trike that he has been enjoying riding around.  Important fact: although Tom loves his new tricycle, he decided NOT to ride in the parade, choosing to be held by his mother, who walked the 6 block parade in the 95 degree heat holding him. 

The Pendletons invited us over to celebrate that night.  A few of the Dads brought fireworks, which the kids loved.  You can see Mikey here in the mix, handing out the snappers to the kids.

Everyone wanted some.


Tommy wanted a champagne popper

Micheal and Tommy petting Deacon.  Tommy loves Deacon - he followed him around all night calling out "Deacy".  I think he missed Maddy and Sadie.
