I have probably only spent the 4th of July in Phoenix two or three times in my life and the moral of this story is it is H-O-T here to really enjoy any kind of celebration! While we didn't get to go to the cabin or Coronado this year for our usual festivities, we did search out some things to do with the boys. We took Davis to a bike parade at Tumbleweed Park.
We decorated his bike with balloons and streamers. It was a contest and some people had some crazy decorated bikes/wagons. Mine definitely didn't compete, but Davis thought it was pretty awesome to decorate his bike.
Parker rode in the wagon in the parade and had a good time despite his cherry red cheeks from the heat!
Grayson is always having a good time and looked super cute in his 4th outfit! We had planned to eat some carnival food at the park, but my boys (namely my hubbby) was much too hot to stay. We headed over to Red, White and Brew to eat and to our surprise they had a big bounce house obstacle course thing set up in their parking lot. My boys pretty much got it to themselves. They had a great time and we had some yummy food. After the boys were zonked out in their beds - the fireworks started and we ended up having a great view from our backyard so Mark and I got a private fireworks show. Yeah - Happy 4th of July!!

What a fun day! How cool that you could see fireworks from your backyard. :)
Fun! We used to be able to see the state capitol show until all the houses were built.
It wasn't hot here!!! But no fireworks...too light. Miss you.
Sorry you all had to melt in AZ...with the rest of us...kidding! Looks like you all had a lot fun. Nice job decorating the bike. Have fun this week!
