That night we packed a picnic lunch and went to Neilsen's Grove. It is a beautiful park with a fun fountain for wading in. You will see by the pictures that Kate was determined to experience the fountains without clothing. We hadn't planned on the kids getting completely soaked but they really had a great time. Anna obviously dove in completely. They also have a big circle swing that Rand pushed with all his might. They loved it. The temperature was mild and we had a great night.
On the morning of the 4th we decided to brave the crowds go see the parade. It took some time to actually find a spot on the parade route but we finally found one. It has been years since we have attended the parade. I really like parades and was excited to be a part of it this year. It just made the day feel that much more festive.
In the afternoon we went to my parents home for a bbq with my brothers and their families. We had a great time having the kids do the water slide and setting fireworks off in the evening. It was a great day full of fun. I was not dissapointed.

I'm glad the 4th didn't disappoint this year. We did Nielson's grove that same day, but am...We've never actually gone in the fountain--I didn't know you could do that! Thanks! Now we have a great new fun thing to do!
What fun pictures. It looks like you packed in everything possible. Next time you go to Neilsen's park, give us a call. We are always up for a picnic.
