July 4th Weekend

We were beyond busy over the 4th of July weekend.  The weekend started pretty awesome since we found out on the 1st that Christopher passed summer school and is now *officially* a FRESHMAN!!!!



The weekend started on Thursday, with a friend of Chris' coming to visit.  So much of the weekend was spent going and doing and taking the two of them around town.  But first Nina got to drive the car....her dream car is a Mustang....so here she is drooling....

On Friday, we went to see Eclipse (the 3rd movie of the Twilight Saga). 

Then on Saturday, we went downtown.  We took the Tram to Mud Island,

then the Trolley to get lunch.   The restaurant we wanted to go to was closed, so we ended up walking a bit to find somewhere else to eat.

On our walk, we passed a firehouse.  Of course, we had to stop...

On Monday, we went to Johnson Park...Chris and Christopher threw the football around for a bit...

and Kraig played on the playground.

And of course, we can't go to Johnson Park without going to the sprinkler park....

Kraig had a blast, as usual.  He also liked looking through the holes in the picnic table....

this was just a cool shot from under one of the water features....

Our town's fireworks were on the 4th...surprisingly enough.  Mom got a few good pics....

The Fourth of July

Anyone who has visited my blog knows I am behind...so yes, it is August, and I am posting 4th of July.....better late than never, right?

Due to the delay on my camera, and the angle at which I saw most of the fireworks I didn't get many good pictures....

The best part of our fireworks display is we didn't have to leave our house. The fireworks in Collierville are done from the park at the opposite end of our street. So, we just walked outside, and sat/stood in our driveway. We did have to move around some trees to improve the view, but otherwise it was great. And we didn't have to fight crowds or traffic when it was over.
