Today we had a great family day. We started off by heading over to Los Gatos for their 4th celebration. Last year Gavin was IN love with the firetrucks, and we thought he might enjoy it again. Think again. He took one look at them and said "Bull-do???" (Bulldozer) Hmmm. Nope, unfortunately the 4th of July celebration did not include any bulldozers...until we started walking, and what did we find? Bulldozers! There happened to be some construction right behind the celebration, so we spent most of out time looking at the 3 big bulldozers. Then we walked up to the square where the big water fountain was. We were early, so G go to play with some other kids and wait for the fountain to come on. We headed home before lunch, and decided to water all the plants because it was WAYY too hot!
After a great nap (We all napped:) we packed up the wagon and walked over to a block party a few blocks away. We stopped to meet Kaleb and his parents along the way, and headed to the party with the boys in their wagons. The block party was on Karie Ann Way, where a friend of mine from work lives. It was soo nice of them to invite us, it really was a ton of fun for the kids AND adults! They live on a cult-de-sac where Everyone has small kids! It was great! Toys, food, bounce houses, and decorations everywhere! Gavin and Kaleb spent a LOT of time in the bounce house, and the rest of the time eating and riding in motorized cars. Yep, Gavin got to ride in the parade with a little girl named Ella. She took him all over the street, and then gave him a turn driving. She ended up having to do the gas with her foot, but he sure did the steering!
We finally walked back home about 7:30, just enough time for a big bath, and then Gavin was OUT! Derek and I were able to sit outside and see fireworks that were happening at that same block party...Derek even got up on the roof to see if he could see the SJ Giants fireworks, but the trees were in the way...and the best part? Gavin NEVER woke up from all the noise! (Last year he woke up a million times) :)
