4th of July Weekend

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. Friday we watched the parade here in our neighbore hood and then we headed over to the park for the neighborehood celebration and picnic. We had a wonderful time! Christopher got to climb into a fire truck and pretend to drive!

Caitlin modeled on the truck!

She also got a black eye while playing in the park. She was not watching where she was going and she ran right into a little boy riding his bike who was not watching where he was going. End result, a very upset little girl with a black eye! (So much for getting their four year old portraits done this week!)

Then we left the neighborhood and went up to Busch Gardens for the afternoon. We rode some rides and had a good time despite the rain! We met some friends up there and hid the kids under a tree while waiting for the fireworks. We finally gave up though and headed to the car. We had a GREAT view of the fireworks from the Jeep. Christopher still does not like the noise from the fireworks. Strange since he is such a LOUD little boy! We watched the show then headed home with two tired babies! They both passed out in the Jeep.

Here is a wonderful shot of Caitlin's eye on Saturday!

We stayed close to home Saturday and went to our neighbor's for a small BBQ. Unfortunately, that got rained out too! We had a nice quiet evening at home woth the twins in bed EARLY! Sunday was just another quiet day. All in all a great weekend!

Hope your 4th was just as great!
