We celebrated Charlotte's first 4th of July with Michael's family this weekend! For the past few years, Michael's mother and step father have reserved a room at the Hotel Intercontinental in Addison that overlooks the Kaboomtown fireworks and air show. This was our first time to go, and we had a blast! Sunday evening, we watched all of the fun and festivities from the hotel room along with Brent, Camie and the boys. Rowan and Kai really enjoyed the air show before the sun set, the fireworks were fantastic, and it was wonderful to enjoy everything while taking advantage of the air conditioning! Charlotte slept through most of the show in Nana's arms!
Monday morning, our neighborhood had a 4th of July Parade. Michael made breakfast, and I decorated Charlotte's stroller with red, white and blue ribbons, streamers and American flags... she was ready to roll in patriotic style! We weren't too sure how long the parade would be, and we knew she wouldn't last too long out in the heat. She was more than fine... the parade was pretty short, and it ended with refreshments at a neighbor's home. It was great to meet some of our neighbors that have young children!
We had a great long weekend!!!
