Continuing with our look back, July is next up. We started the month at home where we had lot's of fun before our big trip to Sweden (more on that in Part Two!).Emma loves the Fancy Nancy books and went to a Fancy Nancy party at the library with Grandma. Emma was all dressed up in her finery, just like Fancy Nancy - the character, not the Grandma :) They read a book, had refreshments and learned a little bit about table manners - I hear it was all very cute!
I just love the picture of Emma with the oversized tub of popcorn - who can eat that much popcorn?! Our family of four could not finish it! We took the kids to see Ice Age III - talk about heaven for little Henry. He continues to be obsessed with his Ice Age DVD - hopefully Santa will bring him the latest release for Christmas!
Fourth of July was a blast! Mitchell was here visiting which made it all the more fun for his cousins. We started the day with the parade in our little town. In the afternoon we went to a carnival with lots of rides and games. Emma was fearless on those rides! I wouldn't want to go on some of the things she went on! Later, dinner was at Aunt Eileen's house. Emma and I started a new tradition - we made an American flag cake with strawberries and blueberris on top that we brought to dinner. I'll have to get a picture of it next year! As darkness set in we watched fireworks and played with sparklers - I was sure someone (read Henry) would get burned but we made it through without any injuries! By the end of the night, we had some very tired kiddos - and parents too for that matter...
