We spent the fourth of July in Dahlonega with John's family. Gracie got to go to her first parade, which she seemed to enjoy. She didn't seem too impressed by all of the political candidates walking in the parade, but neither were we. Thank goodness we found a shady spot to stand in at the square! I taught Gracie to say, "God bless America" whenever she saw the American flag, but she never said it when anyone was around to hear! Cooper was a sweetheart, but the loud motorcylces did give him a fright. We had a nice picnic after the parade, but we didn't stay for the fireworks. We had to be in Anderson early the next day and didn't want to whole family to be tired. As most people know, with little ones, once you get behind on sleep, you can NEVER get caught up. "Grown-up naps" are a luxury John and I no longer have with 2 little ones. When we got home, we lit a few sparklers for Gracie and shot a few fireworks in the driveway. I don't have any pics of that because I was holding Cooper. Here are some of my favorite pics of the day.
Here's Gracie showing off her "spoils of war." She walked away with several necklaces, a bouncy ball, candy, stickers, a teddy bear and a penguin. I'm still trying to figure out where the penguin fits in to the birth of our nation...
My two favorite men in the whole wide world!
I think this is a great pic of the Anderson gals.
Here's Gracie chillin' in our new "Sit and Stand" double stroller. We realized we needed one badly after our trip to the zoo. Even though it takes up a lot of room in the SUV, it's worth it! It's awesome!
