Happy 4th of July

By Kerry -

We had such a great day today. Of course, it started with putting the girls in blue little shirts with stars on them and adorable skirts!!! They were really cute, and we tried getting some good pics, but it didn't work out. After picture time, the girls and I went to our local parade with my good friend and her daughter who is only a few months older than Addison. We drove down and found a good little spot on the route, but you could tell we were newbies at the whole parade thing. We brought strollers, but forgot about chairs. We used our critical thinking skills though and swiped the daycare blankets out of the back of my car that I didn't take out from the day before. Thank goodness we remembered snacks and juice boxes. But we were outnumbered adults to children, so our arms got sore holding someone all of the time. We also didn't think about the candy that gets thrown during parades. All of the older kids had their bags ready and were much quicker than we were. Notice in the pictures I finally went out in to the street to try to bring back some candy that we won't even let the girls eat. They knew they wanted it, though. Candy or not, we all had a blast and ended the morning with a lunch treat from Sonic!

Tomorrow we're heading out to the lake on the boat with Emerson for the first time. Wish us luck!!!

   Well, we finally made it to Arkansas after a very, very, very, very long night. There was on-and-off driving, sleeping (well, it was really a lot of little naps) on the couch, the table seat, my real bed for about two hours, then back to the table seat. But we made it!    On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, we played with Billy and EJ, built forts, and spent a lot of time on the lake. But today, Billy and EJ were back in school and my sisters and I had nothing to do. So Uncle Gannon took us to Crystal Bridges. We saw some really cool things, went on some trails, and got lost for about half an hour. But it was worth it!     We are leaving on Thursday, so we have one more day to have fun with our cousins and then it's off to the next state and the next adventure. ~ Emme

DISNEY (part 2)

Day Three started out EARLY!  We had 7:30 reservations at Chef Mickey, so we left Nana and Papa to sleep in and we headed out for our next adventure.  Tons. Of. Fun. AGAIN!!  The girls loved dancing around and thought it was super cool that we let them have as much syrup and whipped cream on their pancakes and hot cocoa as they wanted! Here are the girls dancing around after breakfast. Donald was a definite favorite! But Goofy really got Emme's attention.  They were fast friends!! After breakfast, we decided to relax around the pool for a bit before heading to Hollywood Studios.  Addison got up the nerve to go down the super long water slide.  It was really cool to watch her do that!  Emme wasn't quite as brave, but loved spending time in the pool! After the pool, we all headed back to our rooms and the girls took a long nap.  They had been going so fast, they finally needed time to crash!!
