Independence Day

After arriving home from our family vacation one day prior, everyone went to bed at a good decent hour which was good because we wanted to hit the McKinney 4th of July Parade.  It has great small town charm and it's a great way to kick-off the day.

We spent most the day doing grocery shopping and trying to get our heads on straight again. For dinner the kids helped create our patriotic skewered fruit flag (say that 5 times fast!). By evening we were off to the fireworks in Plano to celebrate as our founding fathers intended--with lots of pyrotechnics!
