4th of July Weekend pt.2

Our trip continued with dressing up in Red, White, and Blue! Loved Hailey's shirt that Grandma gave her. She was more interested in putting her hands in the pool than snapping a photo for me :) Still turned out cute.

Jason stopped by to squeeze on his little man.. Sweet little family.

We headed to the mall and wound up at a Disney store.  We don't have one close to us anymore so my kids have never been in one.  They were seriously in heaven!! I couldn't get them to stand still long enough for a picture of their reactions.  Jack wanted EVERYTHING and Hailey kept saying how 'Awesome' it was!

Tried to get a picture on the big Mickey but you can tell that didn't go too well... They were all hyped up on shopping.  We made out good (all cost less than one Disney ticket and they were just as happy)

That evening we grilled our hamburgers (thanks Ray-Ray) and got ready for fireworks.  You can see Jack was a little nervous... He kept his hands on his ears while driving to the neighbors house...no fireworks yet.

Me, Heather, and Hayden walked over.

While we watched some in the sky we also set off a ton in the street.  Jack would not let me put him down so I didn't get too many good pictures.

Finally my dad convinced him to get in the back of the truck with Hailey (who LOVED them!!)  At one point Hailey turned around to me and said 'Oh Mommy I love you!' She was so happy I let her come see the fireworks (just melted my heart!!)

After church on Sunday we quickly got the kids together for a 'Great Grandbabies' photo op for Grandma-Great & Granddaddy-Great.  All three of their 'Greats' together!

Then lunch on the patio to watch Hailey swim (she would eat and swim, then eat and swim)  Aunt Sue-Sue joined her.

Hailey even started swimming on the deep end!!

You can tell from how dry Jack is that he didn't even sit on the first step!!

Hailey grabbed the camera that night and got some candid shots.

Here is Mackenzie the pug.Picture 164

Zeek the jack russell . Who btw is a little kleptomaniac.  He will steal anything that isn't glued down to the floor and run till you trade him a treat! He also can let himself  out by pulling on the lever type door knobs.  They had to change all their indoor knobs to keep him out of the rooms!! But he's a sweetie!!!

Hailey slept with me on the last night we were there.  We were looking at all the pictures she took and decided to take some of us.  I thought they turned out so cute.

Picture 179 Picture 182

Had to post this.  On the way home there was a horse trailer with three horses.  They kept passing us, then we'd pass them...  The whole time the horses kept their heads out and my kids LOVED it!!!  I've actually never seen horses enjoy 70 mph breezes before.

Hailey looks so pretty in that pic with just the two of you.

Your kids look way too big in the picture with the newborn.

Thanks for the picture of our "Greats". I'm so glad you got to go to FL and that you thought of taking them to the Disney store. I didn't think it was still opened. Hope you can take them to Disney World when the weather gets cooler.
Hayden is filling out and looks so sweet. Grandaddy thinks he will always be a little guy.
