To celebrate the 4th of July, we slept in, had a leisurely breakfast, and then went over the Big League Dreams park to take in the Chino Hills Old-Fashioned Independence Day celebration. They had a wagon parade where people decorated wagons and entered them in a contest, lots of different games, face painting, and contests for eating the most marshmallows, watermelons, pie, pizza, etc. They also had giant inflatable slides, bungee bouncing, and a maze where kids can shoot each other with water guns, but Rebecca is still too small to participate in those kinds of activities. It was also scorching hot out, so we didn't stay too long after we ate some lunch.
In commemorating our nation's birth, my husband chose to eat Chinese food. I had a hamburger. True to her heritage of being a hapa, Rebecca ate some of each.
In the evening, we took advantage of the fact that we live in Chino HILLS and drove over to look out over the hills to a whole valley of fireworks. We took snacks and drinks and the dogs with us and were able to take in fireworks from about 20 different fireworks displays. It was also nice, because we weren't so near the loudness of fireworks, which are sometimes frightening to Rebecca.
