Carnival Rides

Alex is the blur on the red.

After the parade, we headed down to Lion's Park for carnival rides.  Nana had tickets bought and the kids were ready to go.  All three kids enjoyed the rides, but the big slide was their favorite!  No carnival is complete without a corn dog and a lemonade shake-up, along with popcorn and cotton candy!!  A perfect ending to a long time tradition!!!  Needless to say, it was straight to Nana and Papa's to go to bed.  I didn't haul my big camera and just used my phone so the pictures aren't fantastic.

4th of July Parade

Kevin is currently serving in the Marines.

We headed down to White Hall tonight for the annual Lions Club parade.  The weather was great and the kids enjoyed the parade.  It's a whole lot of fire trucks, tractors, and marching bands.  It's tradition so we can't miss it!!

Ooooh Purple!!

As previously mentioned, we are raising a diva!!!  She was over the moon excited to look at all the nail polish colors in my ULTA catalog, especially purple!

A Hand to Hold

It's not a good picture, but it's priceless.  I love turning around and seeing this!!!  We were heading home from dinner at Cheddar's with Adam's parents and Uncle Tony.

Amazing View

The dome at the State Capitol is one that never get's old!  I love it!!

Daddy Hair Do

Today I got a text from Daddy.  This was his first ever attempt at any kind of hair do with Amelia.  He said it looked like sh*t, but I think it looks pretty darn good.  Amelia was a little frustrated because it took Daddy several attempts and a few hair ties to get it done.  Daddy was really frustrated too. I'm pretty proud of him, and it looks like Alex is too!

Fireworks

I asked Alex to give me his 'excited for fireworks smile.'

This evening we headed to Williamsville Park for their annual fireworks.  We had some time to kill before it got dark so the kids played at the park.  It's something they love to do and it never seems to get old.  As it got closer to dark we headed down the trail to Mr. G's house to watch the fireworks.  He wasn't home, but told us to hang out in his yard.  The Kunz's came too.  Amelia wasn't for sure of the fireworks. She liked them, but thought they were loud.  We were pretty close and it seemed to make her a little nervous so she jumped from my lap, to Dad's lap, to Liz and Elyse.  Williamsville sure does put on quite a good show!  I love fireworks!!
