We had a great fourth of July weekend. It kicked off Thursday night with some sparklers, hens laying eggs and fountain and other fireworks at home. Then we headed out to O'fallon for the fair and fireworks Firday. Both of the girls really liked the shuttle ride in to start things off. Kaitlyn had a blast on a huge inflteable bouncy slide and the puppy dog and car rides. The Fireworks were spectacular. Saturday we woke up and started to head for the VP parade downtown, but a mix of the weather and other things made us turn back around. Once the rain seemed to clear we headed back up to the O'fallon fair for more fun and fireworks. We had the fun but didn't get to see more fireworks. The thunderstorms rolled in about 30 minutes before they were supposed to start. We hurried under a tent and then decided to run for it in the rain. The car was about a 10 minute walk, but we walked and ran as fast as we could. We all got soaked, but it was an experience. The girls enjoyed it. I had Kiera poor little thing couldn't have been any more wet, but she had a smile on her face. Kaitlyn was excited too because she got to ride in the stroller that uncle Ryan was pushing really fast. Sunday we were all set to go to the park near our house where they rescheduled the fireworks that were a wash Sat. but when we got there, there was nothing going on, so on our way back to the house we saw that there was alot of people parked along the side of the road sitting out in lawn chairs so I pulled in and inquired about it and we ended up catching another great display. Kaitlyn really enjoyed it because she got a tattoo and a bugs bunny ice cream from the ice cream man while we waited for the show to begin. We got home from the action packed weekend about 10pm with just enough time to head outside and finish the sparklers we bought. I hope everyone had a great 4th. Enjoy the pictures below...

Kaitlyn not too sure of the whole sparkler thing
Kiera wanted a sparkler but she had to settle with watching Kaitlyn do one with daddy. She was less than thrilled.

Adorable pictures.!!!! It was an unplanned enjoyable weekend. Sometimes the unplanned are the best. The girls are realy at a cute age for doing summer things. I enjoyed the Straw that they played in for so long. All was fun. Maybe we will try it again next year. Ofallon puts on a great weekend for the little ones. Talk to you later.
