Happy 4th!

We had fun-filled family 4th of July weekend. On Saturday, we spent some time at the pool, then napped, then headed out to see Cars 2, eat pizza and get some Oh La La (Frozen yogurt/toppings place) for dessert. It was a fun family night! When we first sat down to the movie - I was in Heaven, wondering why we didn't do this more often. Then, ten minutes into the movie (after a pack of Sour Patch Kids and some Sprite), Rhodes got ants in her pants...and I remembered why! :) It was still fun though - she just had lots of commentary to add to the movie! I tried so hard to get a good picture of my 3 movie dates outside the movie...but this is the best I got....photographer of the year!
These two girls love some Oh La La (or Yogli Mogli or any frozen yogurt bar place, really!)
We kicked off the 4th of July in style...we were #3 in the Marietta 4th of July Parade. Papa got one of his old tractors refinished and was so proud of it! (I had no idea he even had a tractor - but he was so excited!) He decided that his "float" this year would be him driving the tractor and pulling us behind. It was hot, but we had a blast!

Mimi, Papa and the girls!
Rhodes, especially, loved the tractor....she would have preferred to drive the tractor instead of ride in the float!Ali and Mimi - the sun was out and it was hot!
Posing...
Getting ready to begin!

Sweet friends...Ali and Caroline
Rhodes found the fan!
Here we go!
I think Rhodes loved the parade the most! Every time I yelled out "Happy 4th!", she would yell it out in her cute little voice as well! She also waved her flag for everyone and waved at her adoring crowd!
Driving down the loop (in regular traffic) to get the float back to the starting point = a little nerve wracking!
I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!
