Our Fourth of July

We had a great fourth of July. We went with my family to the Rupert Parade. Before the parade started Alexis saw the horses across the street and was determined to get over to them. Mark took her over and she got to pet one. Lexi really got the hang of gathering candy. By the end of the parade she was a pro and would come back with arm fulls to dump in the bag. She also enjoyed eating Otter Pops that were handed out. Yummy! Lexi was such a tired girl after the parade. When we got to the car she fell asleep in record time. It was way past nap time.

After the parade we went out to the river for lunch and fun in the water. After the short drive there Lexi woke up ready to play. She loved the water! She even liked drinking it. Yuck! She also enjoyed playing in the baby pool set up right by the river. I took Lexi out on the boat. I couldn't figure out if she liked it or not until I saw her eyes start to close. She found it very relaxing. :) After the boat ride I got her dressed and we kicked back in the hammock. She soon dozed off and didn't even wake up when I put her in her car seat! She was totally exhausted after a super fun day in the sun.

So, I pretty much had a comment about all of the pictures, but I can't remember them all now 'cause I can't see them...

Is your red striped shirt working out okay? It looks super cute; much better short sleeved!

Lexi's swimming suit is cutie! Where did you get yours? I'm not the biggest fan of the halter top, so on my maternity one I extended the straps down the back and just sewed them on, losing the hip-ness of the suit, but feeling so much more comfy.

Who has a boat? It looked like fun!

I'm glad el-Marko was able to spend the day with your family. It sure is nice to have husbands around!

Maybe I'll post another comment after looking at the pics again...

In the last picture you totally look like a model family chillin' at the beach. How do you do it?

That last picture IS amazing! Was it taken in Idaho or some tropical paradise? Hard to tell!

Sounds like a super-fun day!
