Happy 4th of July

Prayers were truly answered yesterday when FINALLY, we didn't have rain! Colby and Holden (and Colby's Gator) were all decked out in red, white, and blue for our neighborhood's 4th of July parade. It was led by a fire truck, followed by a few decorated cars, lots of decorated golf carts, and then tons of children! I have no way of knowing how many people were there, but it was a lot! After the parade, we hung around for games, bounce houses, yummy cupcakes and then wrapped it all up with a little swimming in the rain (we knew it would rain some time!). The rest of the day was pretty uneventful and we even missed the fireworks! We drove to see them but thought they were canceled due to rain - we found out this morning that they started early! I think this was the first year (out of the past nine years) that we have missed seeing the fireworks - maybe next year!
