With the 4th of July being on a Wednesday it was a little different but we had a wonderful family day.  We started the day with pancakes and bacon since Josh was home with us.  Plus, I thought this would be the perfect meal to eat before putting on my swim suite to go to the pool! Yeah, right!  I hadn't planned on going to the pool, but that's what we did.  The girls had so much fun going from the big pool to the baby and back again.  It was great for me too because we got to do it as a family of four, and who doesn't love the pool.  I loved watching Josh play with the girls in the water.  It was also nice to have another adult around because the pool does stress me out a bit since the kiddos are still so small.  We had lunch at the pool and then headed home for nap time since we had a big night ahead of us.
We went to our first, "Bullitt Blast", the annual fireworks show in Shepherdsville.  Kim and Will met us there so we could check out the sights together.  The high for day was 106 degrees so even at 7:00 it was sweltering.  The kids got to go inside of a fire truck and check out the Army tanks and trucks.  To get some relief from the heat we went in for our 25 cent ice cream cone.  It was so nice to get everyone a treat for under $2!  While we ate it there was live music and the kids absolutely LOVED it!  All three of them were running around and dancing, it was too cute.  Finally we went out to the lawn and spread out our blankets to watch the fireworks.  With the first loud "BOOM", Hadley was over it.  She is so brave, but loud noises scare her pretty bad.  On top of that Will started running a low grade fever from teething and Cameryn was only half watching the fireworks!  My vision of a perfect family 4th was going down.  We decided to just leave. Yip, right in the middle of the show we packed up and left.  It sounds weird, but it just wasn't worth it. We did miss the traffic : )  Maybe next year it won't be over 100 degrees and the kids will be older.   Overall, it was a great day to celebrate America with my precious family!
