We woke up early on the 4th to have breakfast at the club and scope out a spot to watch the parade in the Village. This was the first time the kids had seen a live parade!
Makena saw someone with a flag and said she wanted one. Kathy left to look for flags and came back not only with flags but also t-shirts for all of them.
The kids loved collecting the candy!
After the parade, the kids took a break in the shade. The sun was hot!
We had lunch in the Village and then came home to relax. The weather was cool and perfect.
The view from the backyard.
The Fenley's 6-year old dog, Bailey was a fun playmate for Ryder. They played together all day.
We were glad we brought Ryder. He had a great time and was no trouble at all.
The dogs provided fun entertainment for everyone!
Silly dogs were running around the yard together like this. Neither one dared to let go of the toy.
The kids had a great time whenever we were at the house. Kathy had some things for them to play with, they watched TV, played in the game room, and played with the dogs.
That same day, we walked down the street to the playground and dog park. The dog park was an open area (no fence!) with a pond for the dogs to jump in. There were plenty of dogs for Ryder to play with.
And then it was finally time to head back to the Village for fireworks!
At first Kyle didn't like the fireworks and declared he wanted to go home in the first two minutes. Thankfully, Kathy brought ear plugs and it made a huge difference. Kyle enjoyed the rest of the show.
