July 4th Cedar Park

Our first July 4th so we went to Cedar Park where there was an organised celebration. It started at 16:00 but we decide to turn up at 19:00 (it was really hot)!  It was pretty busy and we quickly noted that we should have brought a rug or chairs to sit on, plus drinks and nosh..... never mind, maybe next year!

The event had lots of stands with homemade produce, local shops or organisations, and things for the kids to play on (including a rock wall, carousels and slides) and a couple of live bands played throughout the evening and they were quite good.....

20:00 and it is time for the national anthem - all standing with hands on hearts though not singing, rather listening to someone warbling away on the stage!

So we picked a spot, sat and waited for the fireworks - people watching - which I have to say were pretty good (the fireworks).  It all finished up at around 21:45 when we headed back to the car and battled for an hour to get out the car park!  A good time was had by all.
