4th of July

We spent the morning and afternoon at the Marietta Square watching the parade and enjoying the festivities. There were lemonade stands, sand art, moonwalks, cotton candy, funnel cakes, arts and crafts show, concerts, etc.! It was really hot outside, but the girls had a great time! This is going to be our new 4th of July tradition!!

Afterwards, we went to my sister-in-law's for dinner and home-made vanilla ice cream! It was so delicious! Then, we went to watch fireworks in my home town! It was a very eventful day!
We walked through Glover Park on the Square before the parade started. It's always a great place to take the kids.Emma enjoyed playing in the little park next to where our chairs were set up to watch the parade. This worked out really well!Watching the parade...Emma would not put this flag down the entire day!The girls enjoyed the view from the sidewalk, too.Here's one of the many floats that passed by...The last original cast members of "Gone With the Wind" were on this trolley. They were in town visiting the "Gone With the Wind" museum located on the Square.Looking patriotic...Allie had fun making a sand art creation after the parade.She picked sand colors that will match her new bedroom.Enjoying a shady spot...Never bored...always into something!
