Independence Day!!

I loved or 4th celebration.  It was pretty low key but we had a great time!  It all started Friday evening with a wonderful airshow and fireworks show.  We visited KaBoom Town in Addison, Tx.  We had never been to an airshow so it was a great 1st experience.  There for several WW II planes and F 16's flew over.  So fun and felt very patriotic.  They had several different groups playing throughout the evening.  We really enjoyed the symphony orchestra with all the big band marches and such.  We really felt the call to stand up in march.  Fortunately for the rest of the crowd we contained ourselves.  They had an amazing fireworks show choreographed to music.  The fireworks show was one of the best I have ever seemed and it was so fun to watch with a half a million other people.  That's right folks a half a million people ventured to Addison, Tx to this great event. 

Wednesday morning we slept in a bit and then ventured to the parade with our pooch friends.  We of course dressed them in Red and Blue bandanas to celebrate the day.  The parade was very fun and they had a car show throughout the day.  We enjoyed seeing the antique cars and such.  The miniature horses were a hit too.  The street fair was enjoyabe as well. 

The afternoon was spent relaxing in the pool...well not really relaxing the boys were having a great time throwing the football and tackling each other.  Yes I know it sounds as if they are 10 and 11 but in reality more like 23 and 24.  O well it was very fun.

We splurged and grilled yummy steaks and had potatoes and salad.  Very filling and oh so American!! Afterwards we headed out to yet another fireworks show.  Very fun and yet again very patriotic. 

Happy (late) Birthday America!! I hope you all had a great holiday and were safe.  What did you all do for the day!!
