Friday night Maggie went to the concert and fireworks in Omaha, while we had dinner at Dick & Betti's with the family. Then Saturday there was lots of family time during the day and a party and fireworks in the evening. Sunday we took it easy and just went swimming and out for supper and then Monday was a full day, of the Norfolk parade and the 4th of July at Aunt Trisha & Uncle Jeff's! Whew, I'm tired just writing it all out. The girls had a great time but are totally exhausted today. Maggie was up for a few minutes about 7:30 and then went back to bed and slept until 10! That never happens!!
Apparently Grace has inherited Maggie's sense of style. Maggie wore Grandpa's shop headphones during the fireworks on Friday night and Grace wore Pop's noise canceling headphones during the fireworks on Saturday.
There were lots of kids at the party on Saturday, Maggie loved having them to swim with. She also loved playing a little pool basketball with AUUUNNTT AMMMYYY on Sunday (Maggie had Amy, Evan, Laura and Mark to play with her Sunday...that's about as good as it gets for her). Grace did a little swimming too, but was pretty happy to relax with anyone who would love on her.
Monday morning we all (Evan, Amy, Dick, Betti, Arnie, both girls and I) went to the parade. We sat with the Sheppards and Maggie and Dani had a great time picking up candy. Maggie is trying to convince Pops to have a Norfolk Iron float next year so she can be in the parade.
