Where to start!??!?!?!!

We had a GREAT 4th of July weekend!! We did not stop but had lots of fun!! Friday started the festivities with lunch at Pop and Granny's celebrating Pop's birthday. We ate lunch and decorated Pop's truck for their neighborhood's annual 4th of July Parade. Pop went out and bought ALL kinds of things --from decorations for the truck, to hats for us all to wear to beads for us to throw at the parade goers!!! (I am not sure who was more excited--Pop or MWC!!)

Then later that day we went to the annual Balloon Glow with some friends from Sunday School. At this get together, several people blow up their hot air balloons and then at sunset, they all "glow" their balloons at the same time. We started going to this when I was in high school and not missed many years since then. I love going --mainly because it is just a "big ole' social event" where we do a lot of visiting!!! (Right up my alley!!) and then they end the event with a fireworks display. MWC and JDC loved watching the fireworks!!!

On the way home!!!--Poor tired babies!!!

Then on the actual 4th---PARADE DAY!!!! We headed over to Pop and Granny's to get ready to be in the parade!!! It was fun....but about 3/4th the way through, MWC looked at us and said, "can we go back to their house?? I am sweaty!!!" She's my girl!!! Not a big fan of sweat!! :)

Getting ready to ride in the parade!!!

But she survived and after the parade we tried to go swimming but the pool was closed. So we headed home and played on the slip and slide!! Then after JDC and I napped :)--we went to have supper at KayKay and Will's. (Sorry no pictures--too busy chasing after a 15 month old!!) But we did have a GREAT time celebrating Pop's birthday, the 4th and spending time hanging out and being with family!!!
