Happy 4th of July! We had an awesome day.
I was thinking about writing a long post here, but just looking
through the photos is making me tired. That, and the fact that
it’s almost 11:30pm! So for now here are two photos and a quick
summary :) This morning we went to see a parade, followed by a
little event with a petting zoo, games, and (most importantly)
a fire truck and an ambulance. Lex spent a long time running
through the ambulance. Then home for lunch and naps. This
evening we went to another event with french fries, balloons,
horse-drawn wagon rides, and a whole fire station full of
trucks and ambulances! A fireman told us the best place to go
to view the fireworks, so we headed that way. The kids ran
around with other kids, had a picnic dinner, and LOVED the
fireworks. Actually, around 9:00pm Eve started asking if we
could go home now. Then she said she needed a nap :) Alan got
out the stroller and she watched the fireworks in a state of
indecision: watch the fireworks or nap under the big sunshade.
But they were both super well-behaved all day. It was awesome!!
And naked day #2 was a success (through two clothed outings)
all the way until about 9:25pm when she peed on my lap. Yuck! I
actually think she was starting to doze off. Probably I should
have put a diaper on her by then :) But I’m going to call the
day an overall success!! I’ll post lots of pictures soon.
Tomorrow Alan’s parents are coming to visit and the boys are
going to do a deck project. They are very excited. I’m ready
for a 24hr nap! :)
