Our neighborhood does a great job at celebrating the 4th of July. The night before the 4th we had a band by the pond and then fireworks after. We went over to our friends house for a get together and had a great time watching the fireworks and watching the kids dance and play.
The morning after the fireworks Mark and I ran in our neighborhood 5k while pushing Wesley in the stroller. This was Mark's first time to run in a 5k and my 3rd race.
The next activity the neighborhood had planned is a parade. The kids can decorate their bikes or wagons and then ride it to the baseball field where we meet up and play games.
Before the games start the kids gather along the fence and say the pledge. Wesley wanted to go stand with all the kids and when they started reciting the pledge he looked up at them like they were crazy.
Some of the races Wesley participated in were the sac race, tug-o-war, ballon toss and sponge pass. He had a great time playing these games and can't wait til next year.
This is one of Wesleys favorite parts of the celebrations; lawn mower races. We joined our neighbors and the boys had a great time.
A new activity that our neighborhood started this year is a belly flop contest. This was really fun to watch. Wesley got to have his first snow cone for the summer and didn't let one piece go uneaten. Can't wait to see what happens next year.
