Rainy 4th of July

Many tears were shed Sunday morning first when Oz found out it was raining and couldn't do the Fun Run (not really, I think he wanted a reason to get our of it :) and later when the kids found out there was no kiddie parade or big parade. They had all their bikes decorated so nicely too. You have to get really creative when you have 5 kids cooped up in one house. In the morning, we decided to go "puddle chasing." By afternoon all naps had been taken and the rain finally stopped. We participated in our own kiddie parade around town. Mom/Grandma even handed out candy to the kids we spotted. We ended the day with a little 4th of July tradition- sparklers, catching lightening bugs, smores by the fire, and last but not least...fireworks. Not too bad of a day afterall.
