We had a busy, yet fun time celebrating Independence Day. We were in the Cities visiting relatives, and started the day by going to a parade. It was fun to see all the kids dressed in red, white, and blue!
We were in a suburb of the Cities, but it has a small-town feel and is quite charming. The parade was a celebration of our Independence, of course, but also a celebration of children.
We visited Toby's geat-grandparents later in the afternoon. Dan's grandma prepared the most amazing ribs, baked beans, cole slaw, potatoes, and strawberry shortcake. Dan's grandpa finished the ribs on the grill--they were oh, so tasty! Of course, we had to dress Toby up in some patriotic gear! Isn't he the sweetest thing?! Grandma had a bubble machine, which kept Toby occupied until we ran out of bubble soap!
After dinner, we went for a ride on Grandpa's boat, and then lowered the anchor and watched the fireworks on the lake. It was a great show! Toby was up WAY past bedtime, but he did really well, and absolutely loved the fireworks! In the boat were Dan, Toby, me, Dan's cousin Brendan and his wife Erika, Dan's Aunt Vickie, and his Grandpa Curt.
