4th of July 2013

We had a nice, mellow 4th of July this year. The started with me running the Claremont Freedom 5000 5K race with some co-workers and Jordyn and Daddy met me at the park when I finished. After the race and breakfast, we headed home and Jordyn and Daddy made some homemade strawberry ice cream.



Ice cream is ready!!



After we waited and had a little ice cream, we went out to watch Despicable Me 2. Jordyn loves the first movie and has watched the DVD almost every day this week. So we knew she would be so excited to see the new one. She loved the movie and loved it. She did get scared at one point in the movie and began crying. So I had held her and had her sit on my lap. But despite getting scared and crying through that one part, she still said she loved the movie. She did day that she liked the first movie best.

After the movie, we all rested up before it was time for fireworks.



Then we headed over to my office to watch the fireworks from the terrace of my building, which had a wonderful view of the fireworks. We watched from there last year and knew it was the best place for us. A colleague was there too and Jordyn had a blast with her son who is a little older than her. She had a great time with her new friend.

A great 4th of July!
