Weekend Fun - July 1-4

Friday 7/1

It was "First Friday" downtown, so we went down and had dinner with some friends.

Followed by some walking around and ice cream!

Saturday 7/2

This was the work day of our weekend. We went to the farmer's market, ran some errands and worked on a few projects around the house.

We may have done some fun stuff, but my brain has forgotten all of that by now! :)

Sunday 7/3

All dressed up for church:

On this day, Chris spent 8 hours power-washing the house and garage, so my job was to keep Amelia fed and entertained in the house.

We had fun and delivered some dinner to Daddy. But it was a pretty low-key day.

Monday 7/4

We got up in the morning, had some pancakes for breakfast and then hit the road!

We had a scheme.... we thought that since it would be a late night, we wanted to skip our local parade in the afternoon, so Amelia could nap.

So we went to another town's parade in the morning:

Being patriotic:

Waiting for the next candy:

After the parade, we went to a local park and had a picnic lunch!

We came home and attempted a nap for Amelia. I'm not sure if we waited too long, or if she'd had too much candy, but at 3pm when our local parade was getting ready to march by, she was NOT having that nap.

So, we gave in, and she enjoyed her second parade of the day.

But on the upside, she took a little nap after the parade.

In the evening, our friend Joe came over for dinner (his wife was on a trip). We had a nice little barbecue in the backyard.

And then we headed over the University for the free symphony concert!

I forgot Amelia's sunglasses, so she looked super-cute in an old pair of mine from the car:

She loved sitting and being silly with Daddy:

And Joe!

The funny thing was, she kept calling Joe "Grandpa....errr... Joe" -- I think because whenever she has a spare male with us, it's typically Grandpa Larry? :)

Super cute little firecracker:

She has a mosquito bite right in between her eyes!

The concert was GREAT, and then it was time for fireworks!

They were kind of hard to see over the tree line, so super-tall Joe gave Amelia a boost:

It was a great weekend!!
