Clare's First Fourth of July - 2009

Today was Clare's first Fourth of July, and we had a great time. The day started with a children's parade in our neighborhood, then a neighborhood picnic at the swimming pool. After that, Clare and her mama and daddy went to Bricktown to enjoy the festivities and the fireworks. We ate supper at Abuelo's, and wandered around Bricktown. Then - here came the rain. We took cover at Starbucks and enjoyed a grande Americano, then decided to come on home. The Lord blessed us with a half inch of rain to cool the atmosphere and break the heat wave. Brycie just informed me that Clare has had nine July 4ths, this is her first Independence Day.
