July 4th, 2015

We had a wonderful celebration on July 4th!  We started out the morning with daddy running the Four on the Fourth in Yorktown.  He ran 4 miles and then came home to have donuts with his girls.  Then we all got ready and went to Granny's house for a cook out lunch!
We had such a good time playing with Levi and Evan and Kadence!  We got to tell everybody about our trip to the zoo and see pictures from when Levi and  Evan went to the zoo!  All the grown ups talked and talked, but we all had a good time!
After lunch we went to Greg and Debbie's house to swim and to see more family!  Daddy played with us in the pool for a long time and mommy made sure we stayed lathered up with sun screen!  After lots of swimming we had more food!! :)  It was also delicious. Grandpa Dave shot off a few fireworks for us and they were so much fun to watch.
Once we were all dry and our tummies were full, we grabbed some bug spray and some snacks (for later) and headed downtown for some more play time and to get our spots to watch the fireworks!  We played on the big hill and danced to the music played by WLBC.  We lit some sparklers and had plenty of glow in the dark items to wear!!  We got flags from the firemen, ate corn on the cob and played with a bubble machine! 
FINALLY at 10:00pm the fireworks started!  It was a great show and we had no trouble sitting and watching all of them.  Myla's favorite fireworks were the ones with hearts in them and I really liked the ones that came up out of the ground and made lots of noise!
We were so tired by the time everything was done and it was time to go home!  Believe it or not, we stayed up long enough to shower and get all the sunscreen and bug spray off and then we all went to bed and slept REALLY WELL!
It was a fabulous 4th for the Douglas family!!
