Independance Day

In the morning we met some friends at the local parade. Mackenzie's first parade. She seemed to like the music but other then that, not much for her to look at. It was nice taking her to this. I've gone for a lot of years to the parade and it was much different this year. I finally feel like a grown up.(Not sure if that makes any sense or not)
After the parade we came home and had some nice quiet family time.

For the evening we went out for a bbq at my brothers house. Watched some fireworks there, then came home about 10:30. When we got home Mackenzie was still awake so we got out a couple sparklers and 2 fireworks to light in the street. She would not look at them. She turned her head each time I tried to face her their direction. We plan on lighting off some fireworks in a couple weeks when the kids are here, most likely she still won't like them. Maybe next year.
