Happy 4th of July!

We were in Centerville for the 4th this year, as my kids always demand that we must be.   But, it wasn't quite the same, and the kids didn't really go all in.

Ben did get up for the Children's Parade (new location, same delicious Pace's Bars at the end.)

It was SO SO hot.  So we stayed at the park for just a few minutes.  I could have stayed to watch the dancers and performers all day--except for the heat.  

Then I came back with Derek and some of my siblings and mom for the concert & fireworks.  The kids wanted to stay and hang out at the house.  It had cooled off enough that it was lovely.  (Ben later was sad, because he didn't realize that the fireworks were after the concert--and I'd only asked if he wanted to come to the concert...and that is true...but it was nice to have an adult evening.)



Derek made a 4th of July Pavlova.  It was delicious! Nothing says American Independence like an Australian dessert!
