4th of July!

This year Riley took the day off and our Independence Day celebration started bright and early with a trip to the Summerlin Patriotic Parade. Even at 9am it was 100+ degrees outside, so we didn't stay long. But, Boston had lots of fun waving his flag and loved watching the fun cars and giant balloons go by.

Next we headed to Wet n Wild to cool off. Boston had been a bit of a wimp about the water and slides, so I wasn't expecting to do much more than the lazy river. But everything is more fun with dad! Boston went down the slides (yelled "wee" all the way down, then said "again, again" after each time), splashed in the kid area, and even liked playing in the wave pool. It was so cute listening to him squeal and giggle, my cheeks hurt from smiling by the time we left :-).
After a pit stop at home for nap time, we headed to a friends house for a bbq and to watch the fireworks. We all came home sleepy and happy. It was a fantastic day with our little family :-).
