Happy 4th of July

Hope everyone had an amazing holiday! Here in Steilacoom we lucked out! The weather turned out to be a perfect low 70's for the day which was perfect for our day of activities planned! Our little town knows how to celebrate!


Matt and I started off the morning preparing our house for a family BBQ in the late afternoon! After everything was set my parents, brother ,and sister came over and we went and enjoyed the town's parade and street fair. We also saw lots of old friends. Nice part of a small town :). Afterwards it was BBQ time! Matt's family and mine came over along with the Buell Family (the family I am a nanny for) and we also invited our new neighbors to join us. We had a blast! The kids had a water table to play and tee ball while everyone played badminton and bocce ball. It was great to have all our families together.

After everyone left and Matt and I cleaned up we decided to walk down to the waterfront and enjoy the firework show the town puts on. During our walk down one of the parents of Matt's players saw us and invited us to view the fireworks from his home. I have to tell you its the best view! We got spoiled! We were given cookies and drinks and my favorite chocolate covered strawberries! The fireworks were amazing. After the show we walked home and we passed out.
 

We had such a fun day! It gave us even more reason to love our little town and we decided we will host a BBQ every year! I am already planning for next year ;) only about 360 days to go!
