Fourth Happenings

We had a great, long weekend together as a family. Friday Katie Jo had her last swimming lesson and then I got to go visit a friend and her sweet baby! We made a family trip to Costco which is always a treat and then Jay and I went out on a date to Olive Garden (thank you Gran for the gift card) and then to our friend's fourth party.

Saturday we ventured out to the beach. This is not normally a good idea on the fourth and especially when Saturday is actually the 4th of July but we scooted and were out there by 10:15. As we passed by the entrance they had already quit letting cars in to park! We had a terrific time and the girls played so well. I am constantly surprised at their joy in the sand, as well as, the water.

Saturday afternoon after naps we went out to the Riverfront Park for their festivities. They had FREE jump castles which was a HUGE hit with both the girls (and us). We ate, sweated, and had cotton candy. We left before the fireworks since everyone was hot and tired. Georgia has an unnatural fear of loud noises such as thunder so we didn't think flashing lights with booming attached would go over too well. We came home and did a few sparklers and shot off the usual Roman Candles. It was a great day!
