During the day of the 4th it torrential down poured all day long. The girls kept themselves busy playing pretend and building a fort! Luckily it cleared up at night in time for all the fun! We grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and had the classic flag cake at the French’s with the Fosters. Then the girls and I walked over to their neighborhood party where we saw lots of friends, played some games, listened to the live band and Keagan dressed up like a fireman! We came back to the French’s just in time to watch the neighborhood firework show and then we finished off our late night doing a little bit of our own fireworks. We really had a fantastic Independence Day!
On the 5th we had an absolutely fantastic time at an Astros game! But first during the day Riley had a doctors appointment down at Texas Childrens. And since Keagan got to go play at Avery’s house and Riley was missing the fun, I let Riley wear whatever she wanted! So I escorted a very happy Belle all around the hospital and she sure got lots of smiles and compliments!
When we got home from the hospital I had a headache and was SO exhausted. Mrs Taryn was such an incredible best friend and came over to take the girls while I took a nap before the Astros game! I was so thankful for her serious generosity!! She took the girls to buy their Astros shirts and went home and made them each an Astros bow! Absolutely amazing and Keags and Rys sure love her a lot!
We also invited Campbell to the game and the 5 of us had an amazing night full of fun, delicious stadium food and lots of cheering! We were in the super cheap seats up top, but we were able to move down to a handicap accessible row which was an absolute perfect view, was much easier to get in and out of, and allowed the girls to stand up and dance, walk around, etc. It was seriously perfect! The enlistment ceremony on the field before the game was awesome, and the people watching of course was great. Riley was a little scared of the unknown and all the noise so she sat on my lap or Mrs Taryn’s lap and Keagan and Campbell were engaged in the game and cheered their guts out! They screamed and screamed so much that I’m surprised they have voices today! In the last inning the Astros came from behind and won! It was a perfect ending to a perfect night! Even the drive home in the rain and getting home at midnight didn’t dampen our spirits one bit. Go Astros!
So what do you think? Was our 4th or 5th more American? Well, either way I’m so thankful for two great days full of fun with people we love! And even more thankful to be blessed to live in this free country and for all of those who work very hard to keep it that way!
