Forth of July Fun

We had a great 4th. I was really interested to see how people celebrated the holiday since 90% of the population is from Mexico. We went to a local parade and had lots of fun. The best part for Joseph, besides all the cars and police motorcycles, was all the candy that people threw--it was better than Halloween! Good thing he was wearing cargos, because those pockets were loaded. The best part for me was the "Low and Slow Club." I'm not sure what that has to do with the founding of our nation, but it was entertaining. All the Mexi-cars were pimped out and doing stunts with their hydrolics.




We went and had dinner with some friends and Joseph loved playing with Hailey. I'm so excited he has a new little friend here to try and make up for the loss of his sweet friends in Buffalo. It's so cute because Hailey reminds me of his two best friends in Buffalo. She has the beautiful color hair and eyes of Sariah, but is really spunky like Julia.
We went out onto our balcony to try and watch the fireworks, but they were on the front side of the house. We then took the party to Joseph's room and it was so fun to be with him and see how excited he was to see everything. We we also able to discover that the balcony is a great place to stargaze.
