4th of July

It was a big 4th of July weekend for us!  We went to Chillicothe for part of it and visited the great-grandparents.  Steve's parents work at a fireworks stand every year, so we always stay with mine for the holiday.  Last year Hannah did some smoke balls and snakes.  This year we let her stay up late and do some bigger fireworks.  She was mostly interested in the lighting of the fireworks, not really watching them.  Her favorite things of the weekend were really the trampoline, piano, and claw.  She tried to catch fireflies with the claw, but it didn't work as well as she thought it would.

The girls napping on the way back to KC on Sunday.

We were excited to spend the actual 4th of July at our house.  We decorated the stroller and walked in our neighborhood parade for the first time.  There were treats and a bouncy house at the end.


The girls also saw big fireworks for the first time.  We can actually see the golf course show from our backyard, which Hannah thought was very neat.  Then we drove to watch the Overland Park show (in pjs).  Hannah got bored halfway through and started picking clovers, but it held Olive's interest.

I tried to take a picture of the girls together, but it is pretty impossible to get them both looking at the camera. 

So I cropped the other one out for individual pictures!



It was also a big weekend because Olive rolled over for the first time and Hannah learned to ride her tricycle! She's been riding it every day since.

Olive rolled over? Not my lazy girl. Olive - 1. Gwyn - 1. Let's see who pulls ahead next...

I love the fireworks in pjs! How fun!

The whole point of having the older child is that she can take care of the younger one, so you don't have to. Hannah should be pushing the stoller instead of riding int it.
