Kaitlin slept until after 9 this morning! Happy 4th of July to us!!! We had big plans to go to the pool but the weather had another plan. It was overcast and cloudy so we decided it was not the best idea to go first thing!
We had a special breakfast at Krispy Kreme and tried to wait for some sunshine! While we were ate Krispy Kreme it started sprinkling then storming !!!
We had a great day despite the weather! We are so thankful for our freedom and those who fought so hard defending it!
We had the best 3rd of July ever!!!! We walked into church on Sunday all decorated with flags and patriotic bunting everywhere! We sang patriotic songs and it was the best service!
Usually Kaitlin does not eat lunch after church because she has had a morning snack in her class! We tried to risk eating out and it was wonderful! Kaitlin snacked on some chips and was so happy! It was fun eating out and then Kaitlin was ready for her nap.
We knew that fireworks would be going off when it got dark but we were not prepared for the magnitude of the fireworks in Arkansas! In Tennessee growing up fireworks were NOT LEGAL! AT ALL! Sometimes our neighbors would shoot of bottle rockets and sparklers but the big fireworks were at public shows.
Arkansas sells real fireworks and has specific days that they are allowed to be launched. These fireworks in our neighborhood were professional huge fireworks. At one point during the night there were at least 12 different groups on all sides of house launching amazing and loud fireworks. We sat in the comfort of our backyard and had such a fun time!
Kaitlin missed the entire thing and did not make a peep while all the booms and bangs of the fireworks rattled our house!
We got to the pool early on Saturday and we were the ONLY people there! It was almost an hour before anyone else came and Kaitlin was the only child there for 2 hours. It was so fun to have the entire pool alone and we had so much fun!
I am not sure who had more fun!!
This is Kaitlin’s favorite thing about the pool, snack time!
We had a wonderful holiday weekend and got to do some really fun things!! We went to First Friday on the square and it was HOT! We went to eat at Kaitlin’s favorite, Chick Fila, so she was full and happy!
It was 99 degrees when we got there and I thought Kaitlin would not last very long at all! Kaitlin had so much fun walking around the square and looking at all the people. There were lots of dogs and Kaitlin was thrilled to see each one. Some of Kaitlin’s friends from school chased her around and she had the best time playing with them.
She was having so much fun that she did not to leave!This was after we left. She was so Hot but loved every second!
