Always fun to have holidays here in the US as they are few and far between.
Daddy was not in town this year, so it was just me and girls!
We ventured to a little town called Carrboro to see how they celebrate the 4th.
Like most 4th celebrations there were bounce houses, crafts, food and music.
The girls weren't interested in anything but the music. They loved dancing and clapping after each song (esp Addi). We caught the last 3 songs of the one artist and after that they were setting up for the next act, and even tho it was just background music playing, Emma and Addi were doing their thing and dancing away. When I asked if they wanted to get lunch, Emma said no, we have to wait for more music!
We stayed for quite some time, enjoyed some icecream and I enjoyed people watching. Some interesting characters on that side of town! I would say Carrboro and Chapel Hill is the more hippy and green side of town.
After the morning festivities, we came home, had a nap and got ready to go to our friends house for dinner and maybe some fireworks. Ended up not eating there but instead at the neighbors home which was great, just a regular summer cook out. It really was a hot summers day, made me think of those old movies where there is no air-conditioning and people fanning themselves to keep cool going off for a swim in the nearby lake!
Those years back watching those movies, dreaming of living in the States and seeing the celebrations of the 4th of July! And look where we are now....we get to experience it all! This was our 8th, 4th of July in the States...time sure has gone by so fast and so much change since then!
Just some videos of the girls of course enjoying the celebrations.
Dancing turned to pinwheel fighting, all in good fun!
Some mini home fireworks which the kids loved!
Loved Addi's reaction to her first set of fireworks.
