Happy 4th!

Hope everyone had a nice 4th of July holiday! We really enjoyed ours here in Champaign! We got all cleaned up and then went to homer de po to get a new hedge trimmer b/c they were on sale and the one we have is from the 50s. After Home Depot we went and fed the geese at the Lowe's pond! In the afternoon we went to the parade with Mom and Chris. We had some lovely lemon shake-ups and funnel cake! Yummmm, afterwards we picked up some fried chicken (yeah I know I cheated)! After eating everyone took a nap b/c...we could! Around 7:30 we headed out to Parkland to get all set up to see the fireworks!

Makenna is doing great, she has her two teeth and can now say ma ma, as well as high five. She did surprisingly well yesterday..usually she goes to bed at 8 but stayed up til 10 to see the fireworks. No crying or anything from the fireworks she just watched them!

Next weekend we leave for Ottawa! It will be nice to get a vacation...seems like we haven't taken one in a while. We'll be stopping part way to see the Niagra Falls, since I've never been and Brent has been once before. We found a nice older hotel with a great view so hopefully we will enjoy that! It will also be Makenna's first trip out of the country!

Well, Happy Thursday!
