Wow it has been a long weekend...week. We have been so busy around here lately. We've been playing nonstop and enjoying our summer. The girls and their cousins have been playing hard. It's amazing how much fun a sand buckets can be. The kids had hours of entertainment with buckets and water. They were soaked but had a blast. It's amazing I stayed some what dry.
On the 3rd we braved the rain and saw the Army Field Band Perform and fireworks. The band was fantastic of course they played my favorite march, Stars and Stripes Forever by John Phillips Sousa. Yes...I'm a band geek. After the concert the fireworks started. I think it was the best display we've ever seen. We were right underneath them and they were amazing. I've never seen them from that angle. I was a little scared that we would get burned at first but we were completely safe.
On the 4th Gigi was in her first parade. She was on the float and threw out candy to the crowd. She had a blast during the parade. Lexi had fun watching the parade and getting all the candy that was being thrown at her. She racked up tons of candy. Yey Us!!
Here's the girls in their matching dresses. Aren't they cuties???
We saw fireworks with my Sister in Law and her kids. They had so much fun watching the fireworks together. Here's a picture of them.
Well it's Sunday now and I'll post some LOs later. I hope your holiday was as great as ours!! Enjoy your summer!
ta-ta for now!
Oh dear Lord, did Tony drag that boy through the grass or what? HAHA! That picture of Miss Gigi holding hands is the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. I love their matching dresses.
