4th of July!

For the 4th of July Tweeb had to work that morning but was able to be off by 2:00, so we met him at the theatre and watched Ice Age Three in 3-D (the kids really enjoyed it). We then headed downtown to check out the festivities. Here are the girls just before we got started, Mya is such a cheezer!


Once we got there, they had blow up slides and stuff to play on. Here is Ellie going down the slide.

When we were in line for our second activity it started to rain and I am not talking about a little drizzle. So we ended up standing under a store awning for about a half and hour and then heading into the store for another half an hour for a change of scenery. There was a pretty big open area that the girls were able to get down and run around in. They were dancing around and having a good time, the rain was not going to spoil their fun! Here are the girls hanging out by the hats (they tried on quite a few too...they especially liked the pink ones).As soon as the rain let up we headed down to the stage and listened to the symphony and an opening act (sorry I forgot who it was). We also ate some really yummy food, the weather at this point was perfect. Here is a picture of Wynonna singing.


As soon as she was done singing (which was cut short due to a storm approaching) it started to Down Pour!! I am not kidding, it was ridiculous!! We figured we might as well stay and watch all the fireworks (which started an hour early) considering we could not get anymore wet and I am glad we did, they were AMAZING!!! As we were walking back to the car Hope kept saying.....well this is a 4th of July to remember!

Hey Danyette! We were at the same place for the fourth of July! Wasn't that just crazy? And I agree with Hope definitely one to remember! Sorry I never called you about the Dr. we actually got in a wreck about a month ago so I actually have been seeing the doctor who was on call that night in the hospital so it worked out pretty well! But thank you so much for all of your help!

I still can't believe it was a down pour on the 4th of July. That just never happens here. I'm glad you had an experience to remember though, as Hope put it. The girls looked adorable!

Danyette- It looks like y'all sure are taking advantage of the the Nashville happenings! It looks like so much fun! I wish we had done more of that!!! We definitely want to come back and do some of those fun things that we missed out on when we lived there. I hope y'all are doing well! :)

As all of this was happening, I was receiving pictures of the rain to my cell phone, and it WAS a downpour. But I think it still sounded like so much fun, especially the fact that you were in such an awesome place as Nashville!! And you were all such good sports about it!! We did miss you, however!!!
