Fourth Fun

Our weekend started with the pancake breakfast bright and early at church. They had balloons and the kids could make rockets then watch them be shot up into the sky. Kate’s exploded but since Jason made it he takes all the blame!

My Dad and I ran the Peachtree Road Race for his 19th time and my 9th year running. It was so much hotter this year than the past couple of years! Which made it harder, plus I’m out of shape due to it being so hot and being sick forever. Even though it was harder this year, we did it and it was still a lot of fun! I’ve really come to enjoy this tradition and want to continue running in the race. Jason, my Mom, and the girls went to the parade where they had a blast. In a year or two Kate will be old enough to decorate her own bike and ride in it for a little while. She’s growing up so fast!

We planned to watch fireworks at St. Ives that night, but heard they weren’t going off until around 9:30, which is pretty late for our kids. Instead, we went to our friends and did our own homemade firework show in the rain. It was so much fun! We drove to a parking lot, laid the seats in our car down, opened the trunk (which kept the rain off of us) and watched the guys try not to kill themselves :)

Abby’s very serious about her patriotism

It was a pretty great weekend. Kate loved all the treats she got and being able to hold sprinklers. The rain didn’t even faze her.
