We had a great 4th of July! Began the day with some guy-time for Daddy when he went shooting with an Army friend while the wives and kids played in a pool!
Here's a pic of D trying to be cool for her friend Connor :)
Then we were happy to attend the baptism of Wendy Darwin and welcome her into the Savannah Ward. What a perfect day for starting a new life, on the birthday of our nation!
After that we put Delia down for a nap and while she slept (for 3 hours!!) Mommy and Daddy had some quality time together doing.....what else?......playing "Little Big Planet" on the PS3 :)
Then we drove 30 minutes to the beach and played for an hour. Delia had SO much fun jumping in the waves! She just kept wanting to go out further and would try to wriggle herself out of our arms. She even got to try out the Boogie Board!! loved it. Then we played "bury mommy in the sand", found lots of cool shells, then headed back home. Unfortunately we didn't see Miley Cyrus anywhere......pretty sure she was in the white limo we passed on the way to the beach :D
Took us an HOUR to drive home, and almost ran out of gas! But we made it just in time to rinse off in the shower then walk with our friends, the Ballards, up to River Street for the fireworks show, where we also met up with Tela and her sister Talitha.
Delia was a little irked at the first couple fireworks....they were REALLY loud! But then she got into it and pointed, making "oohs" and "ahhhhs", even clapping a few times! She was really sad when it was over. Kept staring into the sky and pointing. Gina said she got some good pics, so I'll try to post those as they come!
For now, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA, and I am SO proud to be and AMERICAN. Thanks to all those who have fought, are fighting, and will forever fight to keep us free.
