Independence Day


Our second July 4th in Urbana-Champaign - last year we were in Alaska/Canada. A big difference between our first one where Alex was 4 months old and this one where she's 2 1/3 years old!

It was tough though as we'd been swimming that morning to try to beat the heat and the parade went for over 2 hours! She was definitely battling sleep to see everything. We did manage to stake out a shady sidewalk spot though and eat our lunch while we waited for the parade to come past.



She was pretty excited to hear the bands and to wave her little flag. Then after a nap, we went to Adam, Amy and Elaine's house for a BBQ - the Aussie contingent provided a Pavlova - decorated in red, white and blue of course!
