We threw the kids in the car on Friday at 7 AM and headed down to Annapolis to celebrate the 4th with our dear friends the Burkes. They invited us down for their neighborhood's parade/party and their own celebration in the evening (not to mention the traditional firework viewing).
We forgot to remember that the Burkes subscribe to the "go big or go home" philosophy....
The kids marched in a parade with real floats, had a great time swimming at the neighborhood beach, passed out for a few hours in the late afternoon, and then rocked until 10:30 PM roasting marshmallows, waving sparklers, watching fireworks, and generally RAGING. Oh, and Greg and I had a great time, too!!
Thankfully (?), Saturday was rainy so we had a chance to catch up with Mike and Jennie while the kids had some mellow playtime. Oh, yeah, Mike and Greg also used some of the time to sign up for a HALF IRONMAN (Eagleman) next spring. (For those of you unfamiliar with triathlon details, a half ironman encompasses a total distance of 70.3 miles) We all celebrated with bloody marys and greyhounds. (Hey, you need to start your training sometime!)
We packed the kids up for the drive home and prayed for naps.
On Sunday we headed out to my parents' home in the Lehigh Valley for a low-key BBQ with them and my sister Stacey. Declan and Aubry were so tired that they even took a nap there without complaining!
Today we're all recovering from such a busy weekend (and a VERY busy month or so). Again, it's raining so things are relaxed and slow. Thank goodness!
