1. Had a blast @ the WPAFB fireworks. I was blown away by the fireworks. Best yet, this year!
2. The July Fourth Eve (aka July 3) outdoor festivities in Oxford were a fun surprise. We'd never been. Lots of cool stuff for kids (petting zoo, train, play fire trucks) but also fun music and an awesome Cirque du Soleil-esque aerialist! Funny moment of the day: The goat at the petting zoo starting munching on my (soon to be) niece's cotton candy bag - the plastic, not the cotton candy! He ate a big chunk of the plastic! THEN he started chomping on his paper name tag! Goats really will eat anything...
3. The Oxford fireworks were a good time with good people. We went with the fiance's family and friends. The weather was perfect.
4. It was a rainy day, but future hubby and I braved the July Fourth streetfair with my fam. We made the best of it and had a great time! Plus I got my hands on a quintessential summer treat that I've been craving for days: a root beer float! [no pics b/c of the rain]
5. Cookout with the fam. on the fourth made up for the cancelled (due to thunderstorms/rain) fireworks. My mom spoiled us: burger, curly fries, baked beans, coleslaw, watermelon, angel food cake heaped with fruit, and homemade custard-style ice cream! [sorry, no pics, too busy stuffing my face!]
Linking up with the awesome blogs below!
It's awesome that your town had something on the 3rd since so many people had to work on the 5th. Sorry you saw so much rain, though - at least there was lots of good food involved?

Sounds like a fun fourth despite the rain! We had the same weather in our area too. Stopping over from H54F! :)
