Anyone who knows me well knows that I LOVE the Fourth of July. Having Teddy around only makes celebrating even more fun. Of course you have to start with a flag cake:
What a cute helper!
Delicious:
I did the flag cake, but Teddy did all the cupcakes:
At the end I said to Teddy, "Isn't it fun helping to cook?" and he answered, "No, I just like helping eat the cake."
For over 30 years, my family has had a tradition to go watch the fire works at Will Park. Somewhere in the late 90's my mom also started buying the Old Navy flag shirts for us to wear. Here's our happy little family before we headed out for fireworks:
My dad typically goes to the park around 2 pm and scouts out a great spot. He then either works on his taxes or reads a book. When I was younger and they had an extra vehicle, he used to park one car the night before, to ensure we got a good spot!
Although the park is extremely crowded, we usually can find my dad pretty easily...
Teddy and his cousins with treats from Grandma:
The entire Frediani/Gibson/Hoschek crew:
Poor Teddy... his parents wouldn't let him hold a sparkler:
Luckily Grandma also brought glow sticks:
Cousins:
And finally... showtime:
Happy Fourth of July!
