The last couple of years we have celebrated the Fourth of July with our good friends, the Sanders family. In fact, one of the first things Summer asked us when we first talked about moving was if we would still be able to have the Sanders family over on the 4th of July. This made me very sad :( Hopefully we will be able to visit many of our friends in Illinois again as we miss all of them.
Thursday, July 3
This year the kids and I started things early and drove to the Seattle Aquarium on Thursday. There are so many things they'd like to do in Seattle, but this was one they could all agree on and it was very easy to get to.

| Our favorite! Watching the sea lions. |
Friday, July 4
Started out our day relaxing in the morning and then heading to Bothell for the big parade.
 |
| Anxiously awaiting for the parade to start. |
Once the parade was over, we stopped back at our place to repack what we wanted to head over to the concert in the park celebration where there would be music, wine/beer garden and food. We were able to just hop on the trail behind our apartments and walk to it since the park area is not even a full 1/2 mile away.

It was such a warm day that the kids and Sean hit the pool after we finished up in the park. It's almost a daily occurrence for the kids now that we have access to two of them in our apartment complex. And when Sean is with them, there are always flying kids! Check out the video below :)
And then it was finally time for fireworks! It was a little chilly by the time evening rolled around so we had on sweatshirts and brought blankets to cuddle in.
Stay tuned as the next post will be on our second hike we took to check out some waterfalls nearby.
