When we got home, Ellie was OUT. She napped until 7 that night! I was prepared for a little "detox" so I let her sleep. I didn't imagine bedtime being very easy so she napped and I unpacked and started laundry. As soon as she woke up, we changed clothes and headed out for a little 4th of July family celebration.
First stop...YoLo! Our town has opened up 2 new yogurt shops and it is a new favorite. After yogurt, we ventured out to Pringles Park to watch the fireworks show!
Before the show started, we passed the time by throwing around the football. Nothing more American than tossing the football in your flag dress. Don was SO proud:)
Monday morning on the "real" July 4th, we headed up to the Kentucky Lake for Ellie's first lake trip and boat ride. I was a little nervous about her being on the boat, but she LOVED it!
After we got home later that night, we had our own little fireworks show. Don is like a big kid when it comes to fireworks so he was all about it. Ellie didn't seem to mind them at all!
We had a great weekend but I am TIRED! It may take me all week to recover!
What a cutie! I love her lips on the boat ride!
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by from Jenna's! You and I must have similar tastes because we both have little girls named Ellie. Your Ellie and my oldest little girl, Lainie, even have the same 4th of July dress! I love all of Ellie's sweet clothes. :) Your blog is too cute!

ReplyDeleteHey there! Looks like Ellie had a blast on the 4th! She's very brave... I was TERRIFIED of fireworks up until I was about 10! Ellie's litte flag dress is too precious & um, can we talk about how she looks JUST like her daddy??!! Too cute. Anyway, came across your blog so I had to check it out.

ReplyDeleteI just love the pictures of Ellie! She is a cutie!
I love the picture with the football in her hands. I have a daughter that is now 9 and she always wanted to play with footballs. She now LOVES football and is getting ready to play tackle football in the fall.
I also have to say that the picture of her with the "kissy" lips is just TOO CUTE!
What a fun fourth! How did Ellie do after time with the grandparents? We always joke that our kids have to go through "Grandparent Detox" when they come home! haha!

Hi! I seen your comment on my blog and thought I would come to your page and comment too!
ReplyDeleteYou asked about hCG... well it's been my life line to losing weight. I have tried everything and nothing has been so effective and helpful than hCG. If you are interested in knowing more about the diet, feel free to email me and I will try to tell you my experience with the diet.
