The 4th was a long and wonderful day. It actually began the day prior with a trip with the kiddos to the nearby fireworks stand for some dangerous....popits and sparklers! We had a little practice in front of the house that evening in preparation for the party the next day. I was set to work the Kirkland Parade and was lucky enough to have Val and the kids join with a front row seat right where I was working. It was pretty cool to look over and see my family and to have my cute little girl come over to give me kisses and Ty bring me bites of apples to eat. A work bar-b-q afterwards filled everyone's bellies and then it was off to the park to burn off some candy induced energy before going home for the neighborhood bar-b-q and fireworks extravaganza. Hailey got a little nap in the middle of the day which kept her able to stay up till 1030pm without going totally nutts-oh. Both kids were clearly tuckered out the next day but all in all it was a pretty good birthday for America in the lives of the Quigglekids.
Notice Hailey covering the one ear while delivering the popits!
Ty getting a light from dad on his first ever sparkler!
Val and her 4th of July Love Buggy!
The Kirkland 4th of July Parade is on!
We got our spot staked out Dad!
Dad hard at work.
Shocking, I know ,that this was a favorite float of the kiddos.
I liked this one better. Hailey is still talking about the big duckie.
Mom and dad got some snuggle time while Ty chowed down cherries and Hailey wolfed down a hot dog.
This is the face when you combine eating a hot dog and loud firecrackers!
Skywriting with their sparklers.
Happy 4th of July From the Quigglekids!
