The 4th with friends... just like home.

Earlier I blogged about the weekend before the 4th but since the 4th fell on a Monday this year we got to spend the day (not a public holiday) with friends doing things we would normally do in America... it was a fantastic day..

It started out with Pierce dressed in his PJ's from Aunt JuJu and Uncle KW... and he was so proud of his flag that he colored at the Firework celebration the night before that he slept with it... and here he is so happy in the morning showing it off...

Thank you Aunt JuJu and Uncle KW for my awesome PJ's.


 After breakfast we headed to the park with friends... for a day in the sun... and Pierce was very excited to see a canon... can you tell?

Then we got to the sand playground... where the kids got all hot and sweaty and covered in sand... but there is something to be said about watching children play outside... and enjoying each other... and us moms had a lot of fun too.



Then we took the kids and their scooters and went for a little walk along the board walk... So far on the 4th we have been dressed in red, white and blue, played at the park with friend (even with sand) and now been really close to the water... does it get any better...



Then after the park (before nap time) we decided since it was the 4th... we had to have ice cream... so we headed to McDonald's (for the best and cheapest ice cream in Singapore)... yummy.

After ice cream... we decided no nap but instead we would swim and have hamburgers with friends... and watermelon... wow this is just like home.. we are lovin it...

So the Unruhs came over for a swim and then we got the kids on the balcony for watermelon and hamburgers...


The night just could not end (even though the kids were so tired)... so we popped in a movie and let the kids relax while the parents enjoyed a wonderful night together....

We are really starting to enjoy our 4th of July as Americans in Singapore...
