We hope you had a happy 4th of July! What a gorgeous day; the weather was absolutely perfect! As in years past, we watched the Ladera Ranch parade, joined our neighborhood block party and watched the spectacular fireworks show.
Let the fun begin! The parade always starts with our local firemen and police. Can you feel the excitement in the air?
Landon brought one of his old Easter baskets (Lightning McQueen) to collect all of the candy/treats that the participants throw toward the crowd.
Thinking this should be the inspiration for our outfits next year!?! ;-)
Landon waving to everyone in the parade.
Later in the day, we headed down the street to join in the water activities.
First, the children used water launchers to cool their friends off a bit. ;-)
Time to relax and dry off.
Next, it was time for the water balloon toss.
These were Landon's partners in the water balloon toss. They won...yippee! The boy on the right, Nick, and his friend were so sweet to ask Landon to be their partner. Nick has always been SO kind to Landon, even when he was just a baby.
Last, the children had a water balloon fight. Landon didn't want to hit anyone with a water balloon, so he just threw them into the street. Love him so much! Sweetest boy ever!
To keep with tradition, we watched the fireworks from our balcony. Such a great day!
