4th of July Festivities

We had such a wonderful 4th of July! We spent the day at the James family annual 4th of July BBQ in Belton. The day started early with a fun parade that Nathan loved! Nathan and his buddy Luke rode down to the parade in Luke's wagon and Nathan just stood there for much of the parade just waving his little flag and saying "hi" to all the people in the parade.




After the parade we went back to the house where we enjoyed the BEST BBQ ever. The food was so good! Of course I tried to put Nathan down for a nap, but he wasn't having it. There was just too much activity going on and he was having too much fun to sleep. Surprisingly he was a very good, happy boy all day despite no nap. Well I say no nap, but around 2 he was swinging in their little car swing outside and was so tired he started doing the whole head-bob move so I held him while he took a little nap for about an hour. Here are some pics and a little video of all the fun activites he did.


Here's a little video of him sliding down the little pool slide. He LOVED it! Every time he went down the slide, he had to stand up and clap for himself and make sure everyone else clapped for him too. What a ham!

Thank you SO much Jim and Sharon for having us over for such a fun afternoon and for the awesome food!! We can't wait till next year!
