4th of July: Cowtown, Pancakes, Parade, Swimming and Fireworks

We started our 4th of July festivities the Saturday before at Cowtown.  It was HOT!  Bryce was excited to see Rosie the cow's baby cow and Kyle was excited for the Beer Garden! :)  Here are a few pictures from our fun:

My All-American Girl!






We started the actual 4th of July at the Riverside Pancake Feed.  Kyle and Bryce enjoyed their pancakes!  I, on the the other hand saved those calories! :)  I don't have any pancake-eating pictures because the camera's batteries were dead. :( 

After a quick trip to Dillons for new batteries, I do have pictures of the kiddie parade.  This was Bryce's first year to be in the parade!  We decorated her pink car with flags and she was so excited!  (She may have been more excited about another balloon though!)






After the parade, we headed home so I could make potato salad and a flag cake for our supper that night.  Bryce helped me decorate the flag cake.  I think she liked the whip cream the most!




That night we enjoyed hot dogs, chips and flag cake before heading to my parents' neighborhood pool.  We swam for an hour and then bought some firecrackers.  When we got back home, their neighbor's were setting off firecrackers and Bryce wanted nothing to do with them!  She ran into the house screaming and didn't want to go back outside.  We ended up heading home with a bag full of smoke bombs, poppers, and sparklers. :(  We ended the night on a walk by the river watching the fireworks. 

We had a great day celebrating and we hope you did too!
