Since the fourth fell in the middle of the week we were actually home this year for the holiday. For Belton/Temple being such a small town I was quite impressed with all the fun festivities going on. The night of the 3rd one of the country clubs puts on a huge firework display so we went and sat in an open field behind their golf course and watched them with some friends. Bella immediately remembered the fireworks we saw at Disney in January and was very excited to be seeing fireworks again. For some reason she was calling them "commotions"!!

The morning of the 4th was the annual Belton parade. We tailgated in a friends truck and despite our umbrellas we only made in 30 minutes before getting too hot. Afterwards we went to a little festival where the kids got ice cream, there was a petting zoo, and a few craft booths. That evening was the highlight of the day as we took Bella and her friend, Ainsley, to the carnival. You know my little girl and rides....she was ecstatic!!! She felt like such a big girl getting to ride a few things all by herself.

That weekend we headed up to one of David's buddy's parent's lake house where we had a relaxing time hanging out, swimming, fishing, and even jet skiing. What a great holiday week!
