4th of July fun

By Amity -
We went into colonial Williamsburg this morning to enjoy the start of the 4th festivities. They had a really neat fife and drum performance along with the firing of the muskets and canon type guns. Mac loved and and Emily seemed interested and didn't freak out with all the loud gun noise. They fired the cannon's 13 times and the muskets a few times. After this we walked around and Mac found a hat he just had to have. The last pic is a video of some of what we saw today, it was pretty cool.

We didn't make it for fireworks this evening. If I didn't have to go it alone I would have done it for Mac, he would love them but for me not getting them to bed probably until almost 11 until we would have gotten home was way too late for me. I hear them going off all around my house now though, it's LOUD! Am I getting old?

Happy 4th to everyone!

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
