Great weekend and Happy 4th

We had such a wonderful weekend spent as a family!

Saturday, I got to have a nice morning coffee date with a good friend, while Dan and Sophia had lunch at his grandparents.

Sunday, Sophia wore her new dress, which I finally finished.  It’s more of a shirt, since it’s a bit short for a dress, but that works for now, it’ll be great under sweaters in the fall and maybe her little sister will get to wear it for a dress in a couple years. 

We were also expecting to go to fireworks on Sunday, so in an effort to push back Sophia’s nap, we went to the Mall of America after church for some rides, french fries, ice cream and some clearance shopping.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t thinking and wore heels to church.  By the end of the trip to the mall, I was walking around with NO shoes on, and had some achy legs later and too tired to stay up late enough for fireworks.

Instead, we spent the evening at the wading pool, which was SO MUCH fun!!  Soph wasn’t a big fan at first, but then Dan just plopped her down in the water and she had a great time.


Happy 4th of July!!

We met some friends to watch the parade in Eagan.  I grew up going to 4th of July parades, and was hoping Sophia would enjoy it.  She did not disappoint!  It was so fun to watch her, and she even carried her flag around most of the time!

 

Next, a family BBQ and while we caught a movie at the cheap theater, Sophia went to a farm with Grandma and Grandpa. 

It was a fun weekend, but we’re tired and EVERYONE is going to bed early tonight!
