4th Celebrations

We had a real nice 4th of July celebration and the best part was I didn't have to cook! After an afternoon of swimming we planned on going to the Riverside Inn for their festivities. Of course, Audrey fell asleep on the couch before we left. I should have known with the pool that she would get tired especially after going through that with my kids after a day at the beach. She woke up well and got in the car but on the way down, Braden fell asleep. Pop-Pop carried him out of the car and then he woke up. The kids were still in good moods after all that so I was optimistic. They were serving a pig roast there which was delicious. They had a bunch of stuff to do and look at, a couple things that really appealed to the kids were face painting, the pie-eating contest and of course the fireworks. We met up with the neighbors and their 2 daughters which was really nice. The girls were in planning mode as soon as they got together and came up with an idea for a sleepover. The face painters did an excellent job and hopefully I can post some pictures later of what they came up with. It was a shame to have to wash it all off. The fireworks were really nice especially when we were expecting alot less. Trying to get out was a bugger and then when we finally made it out, both kids were asleep again! They were still in good spirits the next morning - ready for a new day with the old folks. I'll keep you posted.
