We had a great fourth of July weekend. Starting with Daddy being home for 4 days in a row, the girls were in heaven. Add cousins and some aunts and an uncle and great memories were made.
We were heading over to Aunt Ruth's on Friday but the awful rain and traffic made us turn around and go home, but that gave us the chance to finally eat at Cheddar's and then we went home and decorated our bikes for the bike parade in our neighborhood Saturday morning.
That night, Uncle Robert and Aunt Becca come over with Colton and Cameron and spent 3 nights with us. Though the weekend started out with a lot of rain it finally cleared up and Saturday morning we headed out for a parade in our neighborhood, which daddy organized by the way. The fire truck and firemen made the event special. You guys tried to go to a water park in The Woodlands but the rain came back in the afternoon and sent you packing, of course it was when Olivia was at the top of the slide and ready to go down that they heard the thunder and closed the pool! That night we went to the Pavilion in The Woodlands for a patriot concert with the Houston Symphony.....surprisingly enough you guys made it through the whole thing. Though by the end of the night it was a mud pit out there, that Abby slipped in and had a hiney coated in mud. Thankfully Aunt Ruth had extra clothes. Emily and Abby were not too happy about the cannons that were to go off at the end of the concert, but when they finally did they decided they weren't too loud and they actually liked them. It was a very fun event and we look forward to being able to do it next year. After the concert we walked over to the fountains to let the kids play in the dancing water.
Sunday morning was church, which Cameron and Emily could not make it through the entire service....imagine that. After lunch we headed back out to the water park to try again.....lots of sun and people this day. Everyone had a good time and got to go down the slide lots of times. We headed home for an early supper and to put the kids to bed early so the adults could have some play time.....we failed think about the barrage of fireworks that would go off when darkness came.....so it was a bit tedious putting kids to bed with fireworks going off all around us! Of course Cameron and Colton were out quickly and then there were our three. I had to bride Abby with 2 bucks if she stayed in her bed and didn't get up until morning which she did and first thing in the morning she was asking for her money. Emily and Olivia were hopeless but at least for the most part they kept quite.
Morning came and it was time for the cousins to head back to Louisiana. Everyone was sad the party was over....but great fun was had, that is for sure.
