Happy 4th of July

Today we went to the 33rd Annual Fourth of July parade in Chappell Hill. This was the third time we've been to the parade and we've enjoyed it everytime, especially Hadlee, who's our number one candy competitor. Hadlee started packing the car last night with chairs and bags for the candy. This morning she had her dress on that she picked out from Old Navy and her "matching" baseball cap and shoes. When we got to the parade she put down her chair, opened up her bag and got out her cell phone, baby doll and baby blanket. I forgot to get a picture of her set-up she had before the parade and then Wade and I got busy during the parade. Hays got hit in the eye with a piece of candy and we had to watch Harper carefully so she didn't get any candy with dye in it. Hadlee got twice as much candy as the other two and was even pushing like the older kids. Before naptime she said that she was tired because the parade was hard work. That's our girl.

We're going to watch fire works tonight. This is our only weekend in June and July that we're at home. We've got church tomorrow then we're headed to Victoria then to South Padre for the week. If it rains next week, it's because we're trying to go to the beach.....
