4th of July fun

I meant to blog about our holiday weekend yesterday, but things get a little crazy around here during the day. I’ll be the first to admit, I’m still figuring out this whole two kids thing. I’ll also be the first to admit I was ecstatic about a three-day weekend.

I started out my Fourth with a trip to Pure Barre, then we all headed to my grandparents to do a little grilling a lot of swimming. I’m now officially obsessed with coordinating Braylen and Judson in matching outfits. I’m not sure how happy that makes my husband, but he’s a good sport.

Braylen stayed in the pool for most of the day. In the end, we had to bribe her with sparklers and I marshmallow roasting to get her out of the pool.

We laughed so hard at her, because she wanted to jump off the diving board, but she kept making the funniest faces while she was trying to hold her nose and close her mouth at the same time.

She fell asleep as soon as we left and we knew she was tired, so we let her sleep most of the evening. She woke up just in time for fireworks and marshmallow roasting on the back deck with our neighbors. It was the perfect way to end the night.

On Saturday, we continued the festivities at Allen’s parents house. They hosted a Fouth party complete with a shrimp boil, corn hole tournament and fireworks. We had a great time! Maybe I coordinated their outfits one more time, I had to snap a picture to document. (And let me tell you how fun it is trying to get a picture of these two together… I’ll let you use your imagination, it only took about 30 tries to get this one.)

Once again, Braylen fell asleep on the way home, the Fourth certainly wore her out!
