Busy holiday

Starting with our first Hoffman's trip last Wednesday we have had something going on every day for the past week.  

Thursday night we went to the Valleycats with Evan's family.  We only made it to about the 5th inning because it was already almost 9 o'clock and it was still very cold that day.  It is funny to see everyone in jackets and sweatshirts all bundled up on July 1st!

The next day we went to Scotia to celebrate my birthday with my family and go to the Scotia fireworks.  The weather was much nicer that day and we had a great time people watching down near the park.  Evie did great with the fireworks too and slept right through for the most part.

Saturday we went next door to Rob and Tom's for a lunch picnic (yummy kabobs and apple pizza) and then we were off to Petersburgh for a surprise retirement party for Evan's dad.  It was a great time and Evie got to meet all the extended family on his side.

Sunday was Mommy and Daddy's first date out without baby girl.  We went to lunch and saw The Last Airbender.  She did great and slept most of the time for Grandpa and Nanie.  We definitely missed her while we were out though.  This is how she was when we got home.  Nice and comfy...

Monday we went to Berlin in the morning for the parade.  It was a lot of fun because their parade includes a lot of old classic cars, floats (the theme was old TV shows) and even horses.  Papa was marching with the Petersburgh Fire Department.

We even saw the Ghostbusters car.  :)

Then in the afternoon we were off to Rotterdam for swimming and picnic with my family.  Evie dipped her toes in the pool but was not quite ready for swimming yet!  We tried to stay cool in the ridiculous heat and had some great dinner.  Evie passed out in the shade for a few minutes but was a bit too hot to really get any rest.  We didn't really mind though because after a fussy car ride home she had a bottle and slept for 8 whole hours!
