4th of July

4th of July to me is all about hot dogs, fireworks and parades - all american. Matthew is still young for the fireworks part, so we worked on bringing in as much as the other stuff as possible. We started with a Independence Day celebration at the Wiggly Play Center sponsored by MetroMoms. Because I am working I can't always do the things I want to do with this fun mommys group. But, I was off, so we headed out the the play center to meet Chad, Trisha and Carson and burn off some energy. Boy did we have fun! Matthew navigated the playscapes and slide down slides.





On July 4th, we started off at a parade with the Kolb and Joe families. Lots of kids means lots of fun! Matthew had a good time and was such a big boy sitting in his lawn chair for almost the entire parade. He got out toward the end to try to get candy just like all the other kids.






We spent the afternoon and Toby and Karen's celebrating with Family. Matthew had a blast in the pool and fun playing with all his big cousins. Though he didn't stay up long enough to see fireworks, mommy and daddy got to see them on the ride home. Maybe next year. :)
