4th of july

we had so much fun this weekend. laney came over for awhile and they finger painted and watched little einsteins and played with shelton (laney LOVES her some shelton). shelton had to work on the 4th, so devyn and i went alone to the fireworks. it was the first time i/d taken her, but i figured if they freaked her out we could just leave since it was just us. i was worried for nothing. she loved them. she "jumped" up and down (she still doesn/t jump) and squealed and clapped and laughed and absolutely loved it. i/m so glad we decided to go.

weekend fun


we went to touch a truck today in safety harbor. all sorts of "trucks from around your neighborhood" were there and vyni got to climb into them all and push buttons and pull levers and get stickers. she had a BLAST!!! she really loved it. we had a really good time. and -- it was free. i/ve discovered there/s lots of little neighborhood get together activities for kids that don/t cost. i don/t know why i didn/t think to look for stuff like this before. so watch for more pics of other weekend activites. because we/ve got stuff on the calendar almost every saturday all summer long. of course, the beginning of summer bash at sunset park was a bust. but, we/re keeping our fingers crossed that more are like touch a truck and less are like the beach bash.
