Independence Weekend 2014

This 4th of July was really special for Emma.  She won the theme of the Westerville parade!  She rode on a float at the parade with her BFF Emily.  It was sponsored by the Westerville Rotary Club which she also won $100 for the contest!  The girls even got to eat before the parade started and received some goodies!  They had so much fun!

Then after the parade we had a cookout with my parents.  It is a treat since we do not get to see them that often due to their work schedules.

That evening we decided to watch the Westerville Fireworks.  We sat in the Walmart parking lot and actually had a great spot!  The kids sat in the back of my SUV and Erik and I sat in chairs in front of them!

On Saturday we went to the pool and had another cookout with Erik's Mom and Grandma!  We also had some fireworks of our own as well in our backyard!
