Fabulous First 4th of July

This past holiday weekend we headed to Grandma and Grandpa B's to celebrate the 4th. We got there on Saturday and had lots of fun things planned. 

Things like:

Our very first golf cart ride (daddy finally said it was okay)


and of course lots of play time outside in the sun

and we also took Grandpa out to eat at his favorite place to celebrate a belated Father's Day. (no pictures of the group here, just a few of Kenley's messy face as she also had her dinner of Blueberry & Pears).
Then on Sunday, our fun continued. Of course, lil' Kenley had to dress for the occasion with this festive ensemble.
She is definitely my little firecracker and daddy's little American sweetheart. We had a lot of fun on Sunday too for the 4th.
Grandpa helped Kenley watch the bunny out the window
and we were very amused by the new stain glass window that Grandma and Grandpa had installed.
She kicked and kicked so much looking at the window she scratched up her toe on the screen.
We also found a swing set with a baby swing just the right size for Kenley and a nice slide.


But the highlight of Sunday was our big trip to the pool!!! She love love LOVES the water. She did so good stretching out nice and long and just kicking her legs. She has also taken to eating the water with her hands.
The video of her swimming just makes me smile. I can't wait to get her back in the water. I think she can't wait to get back in either.

When we took her out to dry off (and sit on the edge for a bit), she just looked up as if to say, "Mom, that was fun. Can we do it again?"
It was a wonderful weekend and Miss Kenley was definitely tuckered out from all the fun. We came home late Sunday night and got to watch fireworks from the car as we drove down the interstate. We must have seen part of at least 7 different areas or displays. Then we had a nice relaxing Monday as a family of 3 before heading back to work and the sitter's today. All in all a perfect weekend and a HAPPY 4th of July!
