Staying up all night, watching a parade in the heat, going all day long, what is there not to love. We slept out on the parade route. About 1am we couldn't sleep (what a surprise hahaha) so went and watched "Eclipse" and then came back. When morning came so did the parade. 
Swimming!!!
The night started with fireworks. We had to light them 5 and 6 at a time in order to not be there all night. After that we went to Pearce's to watch the Stadium of Fire Fireworks and eat dessert banana boats roasted in the fire pit. We had a great 4th of July. Living so close to family is wonderful. We love it!
