July 4, 2011

We had a wonderful 4th of July! This was the first year that I felt like Ava was really able to enjoy it. We had a jam packed day full for friends and fun!



In the morning we met up with Carter family for University Park's 4th of July parade.




Posing for a few pictures before the parade










Trying to hold up four fingers







The Carters had their wagon decked out for the 4th and the kids happily let Ava ride in it as we walked to the parade.

Ava, Kevin, Chris, and Mikey








She waved to all the people and cars that went by.

After a good long nap we dressed Ava in her swimsuit and went to The Wolters' house for a 4th of July supper club edition.





Luke and Ava played outside in the kiddie pool and slip-n-slide while we grilled burgers and hot dogs.














We had ice cream cones for dessert!










After ice cream we changed the kids back into their red, white, and blue and took them to the Castle Hills town square for fireworks. Little did we know they weren't going to start till 930 so we didnt end up staying. We watched them from The Wolters' front steps instead and to say Ava loved them is an understatement. She kept saying "oohhh, pretty" and just talked about them the whole time. Before leaving the town square though we took a few cutie patootie pictures of the lovebirds!








This one just makes me smile! Young love, so sweet!!









My beautiful little firecracker!





Thanks Carter, Wolters, and Haile family for such a memorable 4th of July!!!









And en extra bonus picture from our visit with Granny Jeanne this week :)
