happy birthday america

We had a great fourth of July weekend celebrating with our family and friends.  We were really interested to see how little C would do with the heat, long days, no naps, parades and fireworks.  

On Sunday after church we went over to the Murphy’s for lunch and then to Red, White and Blue Ash.  Jim and Susan had saved us some fantastic seats under a big bank of trees and although it was hot, with a cool wash cloth and being naked, a baby can do anything!

On Monday we headed out to Williamsburg to Dee and Tim’s to go swimming.  The pool was perfect and everyone had a great time!

After swimming we went down to Loveland and saw the parade.  Charlotte slept through the whole parade in her stroller through Cheerleaders, firetrucks and screaming people.  Benjamin and I had a great time collecting candy, waving to people and eating candy.

Happy Fourth everyone!  We hope you got to celebrate with a community concert, a day in the pool and a small town parade!
