Saturday, Dave washed and waxed the boat for majority of the day in preparation for an evening cruise with more good friends. We boated to many of our favorite spots, while Carly took a nap in my arms and played with our friend Jason. Upon arriving home we had a yummy grilled dinner and headed out for a firework show. Carly really enjoyed the firework show, although I think Dave and I enjoyed it more. Two blocks away from where the fireworks were going to be is a yummy ice cream stand. During dinner we made the plan to go to the ice cream stand right before the show was to begin and eat ice cream while watching the show. Many others seemed to have the same idea, so we didn't look out of place with our chairs, blanket, toys for Carly, and water cooler for us. Carly continued to play waiting on the show and then watched the show intently in the beginning. Then she decided to multi-task by playing and watching the show.
Sunday got off to a slow/delayed start thanks to Saturday's fireworks show. However, once we were up, we were up. We watched our neighborhood's Fourth of July bike parade, although there were lots of wagons, motorized bikes, scooters, walkers, and two firetrucks!!
Following the parade we strolled down to the pool for a yummy hotdog (or two) and to celebrate.
A short nap by Carly was followed by a trip to a friend's house for a cookout and yummy smoked ribs. Carly also was able to make a new friend who is only a few days younger than she is.
Today was more relaxed. We made trips to both home improvement stores, had slow cooker BBQ, did some planting, cleaning, etc.
Happy Birthday weekend America!!
That is so neat you have a neighborhood parade including fire truck. Aunt Kit would have been there with decorated bicycle. Love, Aunt Bubble
