We started our Fourth of July celebration on July 3rd with the celebration of Opa's birthday and a trip to the Columbus Clippers game. We stayed after the game to watch Red, White, and Boom from the stands. It was an amazing display, but the traffic afterward was horrible! It took us an hour and a half to get home from the game and that included some creative driving by Andy.
On July 4th, we started the day with Marysville's awe inspiring parade. ;o) It lasted all of 10 minutes, but allowed plenty of time for Xavier to gather lots of candy. Brooklyn was able to ride on her dance center's float. She was excited to see us cheering for her on the side of the road.
We had the Marshal's over for dinner and fireworks. The kids experienced their first sparklers. Xavier didn't want to touch them, but Brooklyn thought they were great! She ran through the yard until they burned out. I was sure she was going to catch one of her pigtails on fire! Unfortunately, I forgot about the cup of water for the used sparklers and Charis burned her fingers. Sorry!
After dark, we headed to the walking trail for Marysville's fireworks. We roasted our traditional s'mores and enjoyed the evening.
