4th of July

I took the kids down to my hometown to see the parade.  I wasn't sure how Dawson would react, whether he'd be moving the whole time or what.  It was HOT.  We found a place in the shade to watch the parade.  Meighan was ready with her bucket to run out and get candy (they won't let people IN the parade throw out candy -- the candy has to be thrown or given out by people walking along the route).  Anyway, Dawson walked some before the parade but then he wanted to sit in his stoller and eat Cheerios.  He STAYED in his stroller the WHOLE TIME and just took in everything!  I was actually quite amazed!

We didn't stay in town to eat lunch.  We went back to my parents' house for lunch, A/C and the little wading pool she put up.  Dawson took a nap while Meighan played in the pool a bit.  Then when he woke up, they both were in the pool a bit.

In the evening we walked up the neighbors' and ate a little bit.  It was getting towards Dawson's bedtime so we walked home, I gave him a bath and got him ready for bed.  Tony and Meighan did a few fireworks and then came home.

  1. Sounds like a fun day! I hear you on the hot though, I've had enough of these 100 degree (or close to) days. I say bring on the fall weather ;)
