Happy 4th of July!

We had a pretty good 4th of July over here. We sure did miss celebrating in England though with the carnival on Feltwell and good friends. The girls especially were hoping they would do the whole carnival/rides thing here but all the were really hoping for was the fireworks. We went to Arkadas Park on base here and they had food, some games for the kiddos, face painting, and a bouncy castle. The girls desperately wanted to jump in the bouncy castle but there were some bigger kids in there and they know all to well that big kids in the bouncy castle make them go flying all over the place! They got their face painted and Sadie actually enjoyed it so much that she asked the girl paint another heart on her other cheek. That girl is usually skiddish when it comes to face painting but she liked it this time. They enjoyed some games and then we got some dinner.

 

 

After we ate, the girls enjoyed music from the band Rantings of Eva. They were dancing and wiggling all over the place. Ruby even enjoyed dancing around even though it was past her bedtime. We hung around for a while and then headed out at 8pm. The girls were so upset that we were leaving and we hadn't seen the fireworks yet, but Steven was a little bored and a lot tired. The poor guy gets like no sleep because of working nights and then being up on his days off with us. Instead of going home we went to the Shoppette and got some ice cream, out air in the tires, and headed back to the park for fireworks at 9. We parked, sat on the tailgate and ate some ice cream. 

 

 

They all loved the fireworks, even Ruby. Sadie was so tired but didn't want to miss anything. We had a lot of fun and were pooped when we got home! I have some videos of the girls dancing that I will put them in a separate post! We hope you all enjoyed for Independence Day too :)
