4th of July

Isabelle had a very busy holiday weekend. We were all over the place !!

First we headed up to Nana and Papa's for the annual fourth of July festivities. Although it was a rainy morning, Isabelle still enjoyed her first 4th of July parade. She loved the steel drum bands and bag pipers the most.

After the parade we headed to Pete and Christina's for a cook out. Isabelle bonded with Molly and is no longer afraid of dogs :)

Next we headed back to Beth and Bruce's for another cook out. As always it was a great time with tons of food and tons of family. Thank you for hosting this event every year. Isabelle loved playing with her cousins and some new friends. A special thanks to James for giving Isabelle her bottle. You are a natural. And thanks to Nana and Papa for letting us stay with you.

On Saturday we had some friends over for a cook out. Aside from a lost boccie ball we had a great time. It was great to see Tim and Jen. We can't wait until you move back North. Isabelle misses you guys.

On Sunday we relaxed in the morning and Isabelle tried out her new swing. Thank you for installing her swing Grampy !! She loves it and we will be spending many hours out in the backyard in that swing.

Then we headed to Will's first birthday party. Isabelle, Will, and Nora all got along very well. It was so nice to see all of the kids together. Will was a great host I think he enjoyed his birthday cake. Isabelle had her first few bites of ice cream. She seemed to enjoy it as much as Mommy and Daddy !!

Happy fourth !!
