July 4th Weekend Festivities

Heading out for FAMILY TIME is so exciting for us! We made plans to spend July 4th weekend in McKinney, TX with my family. An added bonus is getting to see all our college/seminary friends ~ they are such a blessing. Of course, 4 of us are all pregnant so it's hilarious to get together and compare belly sizes! :)

So we started off with a relaxing day with family on Thursday...Laina's cousins, Connor & Paige came over, and Connor and Alaina went swimming. "Uncle Rick" (Daddy) had a little too much fun with the Super Soakers! :) It's amazing to see how well Connor & Alaina play together. They're so sweet. 

Friday, we enjoyed lunch with our sweet friends, Brad & Steph, she is 34 weeks along and ready to go. We were able to see their new house, and Baby Campbell's room. Their anticipating her arrival!

 That night Rick went to meet a friend from seminary and us girls had a movie night in our PJ's - my kind of night! Then Saturday was THE DAY, we intended to get to the McKinney parade when it started (1030am)...didn't happen...our friends Eric, Ashley & Abby met us...it was so HOT, unbearably HOT. I could barely stand it. But the important thing was Alaina enjoyed watching the motorcycles and cheerleaders, cars honking, etc. She really enjoyed playing with Abby that day! Then we spent the rest of the afternoon bumming it because of the heat! ;) And then had to make that drive back home! :0)
