4th of July Fun!

We had such a busy weekend planned for the 4th of July holiday. On Saturday, we got up and went to the Parkville Parade (minus Brian since he had to work, boo!) and got to support Brian's uncle John DeStefano in his campaign for State Rep. Colin had a lot of fun riding in the wagon with his cousin Olivia. They were such troopers during the mile-plus long parade. Of course they had a blast throwing everything (sippy cups, shoes, sunglasses, bottles of water, puffs, etc) out of the wagon along the way, but there were plenty of people around to help pick up the stuff.
At the end of the parade there were some fun rides you could do. Colin's aunt Katie bought some tickets so the kids could ride on the carousel. They had so much fun! Thanks Aunt Katie!!

After the parade was over, we headed off to Belton to see Tiffany and Chad. Tiffany has been so patient, waiting to take Colin swimming at the Community Center where she works. We just love the fact that Colin LOVES the water and he had a blast on Saturday. The boys (Brian and Chad) went golfing and so it left plenty of time for the 3 of us to head to the pool. We had such a great time, and Colin was so tired when we got home.

The 3 of us at the pool. Unfortunately this isn't the best picture, but it was so hard getting Colin to hold still long enough for a good shot. He was a busy baby and didn't want to quit playing!



After the pool we headed back home for some dinner. We wanted to make sure Tiff & Chad felt comfortable with Colin since they will be watching him for a week at Thanksgiving time. Colin just loves his Aunt Tiffey and I know he will do just fine for them in a few months.



Now if it would only quit raining long enough for us to finish staining our deck....
