Well, July is about half over (boo!) and here is my first post of the month. This month has been absolutely crazy. Aside from being just a crazy, busy summer, John and I both said goodbye to Grandparents over the last couple weeks. More on that later.
For the Fourth of July this year, we did something a little different. We started the day out by going to Lennox, for their Fourth of July parade. Jim and Barb came to watch the parade with us. The kids handled it pretty well. It was pretty warm, so Elliott was getting a little fussy by the end of it. Emma loved it! She had never been to a parade that threw candy, so she was super excited to run out and collect candy constantly. She squealed with delight every time she picked up some candy to put in her pail. She also ate about half of what she picked up :)
After the parade we went back home for lunch and some much-needed naps. By the time we all woke up, it was time to go to Marie and Todd's for the family get-together. Emma had a blast playing with Abby and Anna. They went swimming, ran around, and just genuinely had a good time. Elliott had fun playing in the grass, and sitting next to Juan Jr. They were pretty cute together.
Elliott was asleep by 7:30pm and down until we headed home. Emma was not a fan of the fireworks, or anything having to do with the Fourth of July. She was really scared of all the noise, and was much happier once we came back inside to watch the Fireworks and play with the toys.
In Tea, they are allowed to shoot off any type of Fireworks in town, so it was pretty intense. It got to be a pretty late night for us all, I don't think we were home until 11:00pm and then had two little kids to get to bed. It was a great Fouth, but we were all beat by the end of it!
