Friday evening, we met my parents and my brother in Hudson for dinner at Pier 500. We had a wonderful dinner out on the patio. Then we headed over to the rides and the games. Hal tried to win Sophia a goldfish.
No such luck. So we tried a ride to make up for it. Sophia picked the carousel of course. She just loves the horsies as she calls them.
After dinner we went home to watch the Twins game and the fireworks out on the deck. With a perfect end to the evening I couldn't wait for more tomorrow.
Saturday Sophia and I went to the store to get all of the food we needed for the rest of the weekend. She insisted on wearing her princess dress and her crown.
It was quite the sight to see this little one in Cub celebrating the 4th and starting it off the right way!
We spent the rest of the day playing outside and playing at the park. Sophia went down for her nap and I went on a run. Little did I know I was going to get caught in a storm. It rained so hard that it actually created a flood. It was crazy!
When Sophia got up from her nap we went out to the party. It was really fun to have the party right across the street. We didn't have to travel far. The food was great and so was the company. The kids all ran around and it was great to chat with my neighbors.
When it got dark outside the kids all got to light sparklers. They had about 30 boxes. They just kept coming and coming. Sophia just loved holding them and watching the lights. When it was time for the big fireworks, I could hardly believe how incredible they were. We are so lucky to have neighbors who love to see fireworks as much as we do. We stayed out late partying it up with the neighbors and started a new day on Sunday.
Sunday we spent the day outside finger painting with Sophia and drawing chalk. Then we went over to my parents for a bbq and swimming. Sophia had a wonderful time playing with Uncle Ryan.
We will be sad for him to go tomorrow. This week will be short as we head to Utah on Thursday. I can't wait for vacation!
