We hosted another big, 4th of July bash with both sides of our families (my sister, Allie, was in town with her family too). We started festivities around 5 for a BBQ and other activities followed.
Braby side cousins
The mixing of cousins actually went wonderfully, at least for this group. It turns out that if you're between the ages of 5 and 8, you're already part of the club.
More cousin mixing
This face of MJ's cracks me up! Apparently fireworks took her by surprise.
We had a couple of neighbor friends come down when we started lighting off fireworks.
Glowsticks are always a hit
My favorite 4th of July picture ever. Love these brothers.
Another favorite tradition is a bike parade around the culdesac. We play patriotic music and the kids ride bikes or scooters. This tradition goes way back to my childhood when we would go to the Burkharts every year on the 4th of July and they would do a bike parade in their driveway. They even had an awesome pull wagon that fit several adults that we paraded around.
