4th of July Fun

We had a wonderful holiday weekend! Friday night we enjoyed a great dinner at Matt Allen's house. Brody enjoyed hanging out with the big boys and Meg enjoyed the special attention from Matt's mom. Saturday we headed up to Tulsa for the 4th of July festivities at the Downing's. It was a special treat for Brody because I arranged for us to stay in a hotel that had a small indoor kiddie waterpark and he loved this. Sunday I enjoyed getting to eat breakfast with my college friend Christi and then we ate a second breakfast with Mike, Libby, and Uncle Nick. We headed back home and that night enjoyed dinner at IHOP with GG and Gran B (yes I ate at 3 different breakfast joints all in one day). Then enjoyed the Norman firework show with Gran B and our friends Katie, Kennedy, and Finley. I think the babies were more into the fireworks than the big kids. We are exhausted from all of this activity and our goal is to not go anywhere this week. Let's see how we end up with that one!

And on with the enormous amount of pictures......

Meg with Matt Allen's mom

Hanging out at Matt Allen's. She loves putting anything she can in her mouth and you can see her enjoying her feet as well. I love the multi-tasking!

Brody at the hotel pool

Why does my husband insist on dressing up crazy for the 4th of July? It was a lot of fun walking through the hotel with him dressed like this!

Meg didn't mind her white trash looking daddy

Loving her first hotel stay

This is Brody's "normal" smile now

Brody was thrilled to have other kids to play with at Ted and Rikki's. These are their darling nieces Anna and Allie. Brody immediately liked them and they had a blast together. I have decided that going places where you are the only one with kids is like going to a foreign country and not knowing the language. You're just a little out of place!

Brody enjoyed sticking his head in the water

All the kids at the 4th of July party. These pictures are never good!

At the fireworks show. You can see Brody's red hair.

I love this picture because it shows Meg's delight when seeing her big brother
