July 4th

Yesterday was a fun day!  Of course, we celebrated our nation’s freedom and independence, but our wonderful country also shares a birthday with our favorite 4-legged family member.  Cayenne turned a year old yesterday, and while she wasn’t offered any cake, she did get a Costco sized bag of Beggin’ Strips – basically her dream come true.

We started the day by heading into downtown Leesburg for their parade.  The weather was beautiful and uncharacteristically mild for July, so Cayenne came along.  She really seemed like she enjoyed the sights, smells, and other dogs, but mostly she’s just happy to be out and about with the family.  We met up with some friends there and enjoyed the small town feel of the parade.

We managed to sneak in a visit to the pool after the parade and lunch, then evening came and it was time for the festivities on our block.  It’s a shame there aren’t more kids for Nina and Lyla to play with.  Smile

The parents relaxed and hung out while the kids ran all around, ate cupcakes, played with sparklers, smoke bombs, poppers, etc., then we all sat back and watched a little firework fun.  Our community’s big fireworks show was last weekend, but we still enjoyed seeing some bigger ones set off in the distance.  The night ended late for the kids, and we were all pretty worn out, but it was a great 4th of July.
