4th of July 2016

This year for the 4th we kept it all in the hood!!  We started our morning with the annual Bressi Ranch 4th of July parade.  It was a nice, overcast morning so the weather couldn't of been better for the parade.

After the parade we headed to the pool for some swimming and lunch.  It was busy with most of the neighborhood enjoying the sun that had just popped out.  Madden sadly got stung by a bee for the first time, so we definitely were the center of attention with the screaming child, but he did great with his first sting.  Didn't even want ice or anything, just wanted to be in moms arms and eating Red, White, and Blue gummy bears.

After the pool and a couple naps we headed over to the Kurisu's for some BBQ.  Mike just got a smoker so he smoked us some ribs, steak and chicken.  The kids had a water balloon fight, did the slip and slide, and played all afternoon and into the evening.

Jake's enormous jell-o shots.

Water balloon fight.  No one was safe!

Once the sun went down we headed to the top of the hill to watch the firework shows from Legoland, Avaira, and La Costa.  Lisa, our neighbor gave the kids boxes of the little poppers which they loved throwing on the ground and seeing them spark.  Neighbors had there own firecrackers going off as well so the night was definitely lite up.  It was a great 4th of July with awesome friends!
