4th of July Weekend

This is how it's supposed to be, life that is. We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. I love when Boyd has a day off to play with us! All weekend I thought to myself, what a great weekend, this is so much fun. I love our life! Walt has been wanting some time for just Walt and mommy lately. So, Friday morning Walt and I went for a long walk to the Pirate Park and played together. After running errends, our friends from college, Amy and Bobby, came over for dinner. It was fun to catch up with them before they have their first baby next week. When we told Walt Amy has a baby in her tummy, he said, "You ate a baby?!?!?! That's YUCK!" We did a little explaining that she did not eat a baby, but determined maybe we need a book. :) On Saturday, we had a slow start to a long day making pancakes here and then going to the festivities on DI. We met one of Walt's new best friends at the park to watch the Kazoo man perform and see the parade. We splashed at the pool. Granny and Aunt Nancy came over for burgers and sparklers. Then, we took the kids to watch the fireworks from the car. We got where you can see the Patriots Point display over the bridge around 9:30 and had to wait for 30 minutes. I tell you, it was amazing how much energy Walt and Emmie still had at 10pm! Needless to say, Sunday morning we were all a little tired. We did go out on the boat in the afternoon and pulled up to a little beach for the kids to play. Sunday was Tucker's lucky day, as he got to go on his first boat ride. He loved it! We had such a full and fun weekend. I am so thankful that we are getting to do all of these fun things with the kids. I think it is safe to say we are all LOVING the low country life!
