July 4th Weekend

What a great 4th of July weekend we had. On Saturday we went to Cumberland Caverns with Julia and Stephen. Allie enjoyed going in the cave.

"I do it." Is a phrase we hear a lot.

Yes, even in the cave with lots of stairs.

On Sunday it was the 4th of July. A fun holiday full of cookouts, fireworks, and sparklers. We had a great time. I was a little worried about the fireworks this year because she ran screaming with the few fireworks we set off in our backyard. However, at the Adventure Science Center you could barely hear the fireworks and so Allie wasn't scared at all. Actually, she only watched about 1/2 of the show and then was more interested in collecting the rocks around us. The sparklers were a big hit. Allie loved holding the sparkler and watching it. We actually saved some to do on Monday so we could so a few sparklers in the dark. We had a great 4th of July.
