Independence Day

We celebrated our country’s independence yesterday. We went downtown to partake in the local festivities. It was the HOTTEST Forth of July EVER recorded in Lexington. So, we didn’t stay long. These dog days of Summer are too much.

I remember getting my face painted when going to the parade, as a little girl. This was Emilia’s first time. I thought we would give it a try, not knowing if she would sit still long enough. She did so well, she didn’t move a muscle. She loved showing it off, too!





After dinner, Emilia did a little fishing in the backyard. She enjoyed a strawberry fruit pop. They are so yummy. Then Daddy showed her a sparkler for the first time!



I hope your Independence Day was filled with family and fun, too!
