Fourth of July

First, let me apologize, Blogger has had difficulty uploading/publishing so things are usually uploaded late! 

Anyway! It's July! This was the first holiday that wasn't Charlottes first! 

This was Charlottes second Fourth of July! It was a ton of fun. We started the day by walking down to the soap box derby. It was definitely cool! I had never been before but it was neat to watch. The problem with this type of event is there is no place for Charlotte to roam. She likes to be independent, to crawl and get into whatever she wants. Sitting down and watching is not something she's great at, and pavement is not something she can crawl on, we did not stay long, but it was good to see neighbors and friends! 

After a nap and some lunch we were off to GGs to watch the parade. This was a much more productive event haha. We took her in her wagon and she loved it. I should also mention that this was her first outing in the wagon, and the best part? The wagon was being thrown out by a neighbor, a lite soap and water and it was good as new, a love free things! Charlotte had a great time at the parade she waved and clapped and watched the bands and fire trucks. She did a great job at the parade! 

After the parade we went swimming with some friends. She loves the pool and being in the water so it was very fun. Charlotte was exhausted so sadly there were no fireworks in our future. I did get to watch the downtown fireworks from her bedroom window as she was falling asleep so that was great. 

It was a good day all around. It was very hot but we survived. Charlotte is so grown up already, can't wait to enjoy Fourth of July with her next year too!
