This year, it was held on July 5th, and we were happy to extend the 4th of July celebration!
The picnic started with some playtime outside.

Lily had so much fun that it resulted in broken flip flops. Broken, as in split into 2-3 pieces each!!!

The afternoon flew by in a flash, and we settled down for another fireworks show!

The fireworks lured Lily to sleep.

After the fireworks ended, I moved sleeping Lily into the house, put Liam in his pajamas, and helped Tracy clean up her house.

Celebrating the 4th of July two days in a row was so much fun!
Liam was a big fan of his first 4th of July!
