(Belated) 4th of July

We began our nation's birthday by braving the tourists downtown to see the 4th of July parade. It was pretty hot so we didn't stay too long. Tigger and Tilly loved it - lots of bands (Tigger kept asking about each instrument) and other interesting things to see (people on roller blades!).

It was fun for the whole family:

Later that day we had some friends over for a cookout and fireworks. The kids are certainly showing their different personalities. Tigger can be a bit timid while Tilly is fearless. Tigger quickly became done with the fireworks ('they scare me') while Tilly kept asking for more. Very funny!
