We were excited. This year we were in the U.S.A. for the 4th that meant we were actually going to celebrate American Independence Day in America. There would be a parade and we would get to see REAL fireworks instead of popping balloons in Mexico for the fireworks sound effect. Remember last year's celebration?
The day started out with a great little parade and pancake breakfast. To check out more nostalgic and fabulous pics of the parade go here.
Here's Alexandria looking all Americanelicious ready for her big debut in the Hope Street parade.
The boys weren't really into the parade they just wanted the pancakes.
But these girls knew exactly what to do to show their American pride.
Since Mom (or Grandma) left us for the cool country it was up to my generation to plan the Independence Day afternoon festivities. That included cousins, a ton a food and a lot of water. The kids partied their little American hearts away anxiously awaiting the REAL fireworks.
Then it was time. Fireworks! As we sat there on the grass watching the beautiful cascade of fire our sweet Alexandria serenaded "God Bless America" and DJ, in true boy style, remarked that the fireworks looked like "shooting bombs" then asked if we could do it again.
I hope so DJ. In this unpredictable world we live in I hope we are always able to celebrate our freedom and the marvelous country we live in.
