4th Of July

We had such a fun 4th of July. In the morning we took the girls to "The World's Shortest Parade" in Aptos. For those of you who haven't been, I'm pretty sure it's just the shortest distance, because it's a LOOOONG parade for being the world's shortest! It has everything from a whole group of weiner dogs to little gymnasts to dancing jellyfish to marching bands and even a HUGE pigeon that walks along and poops (shaving cream)!


The girls got "sprinkler" donuts!


Our friend "auntie Laura" (in the red) and her roomie Dawn came with us. We met some friends there (Juliet is the child that's not ours!)

I think my favorite part of the parade was when a convertible drove by with the driver and passenger wearing Bill and Hillary Clinton masks and Abby got so excited, pointing and yelling "A princess! A princess! Hi princess". Apparently, we've got a couple people running for president and one running for Queen!

After the parade (and a slight meltdown, of course) we went home for naps. Once the girls (and Carey) woke up, we headed over to Carey's grandma's house for some fun in the pool and delicious bbq. We had such a fun day together and can't wait to celebrate the 4th next year as a family of FIVE!
