Fourth of July Festivities

I hope everyone had a fun Fourth of July. Here are some pics of our Fourth (which I don't have many of because I forgot my camera so these were taken with my phone), as well as some other somewhat related events.

We went to Cherry Hill for the Fourth this year. I actually have a season pass because my parents got passes for all the girls and their kids for Christmas last year. We go at least once a week and have a blast (more of those pictures coming). I wanted Rob to come with us sometime and see how cute Anisten is and how much she LOVES the water, and the slides, and the Lazy River and the slides and the water. She loves going to Cherry Hill. Pretty much everyday she asks me to go by saying "Pool...car!" (she knows you have to go in the car to get to the Cherry Hill pool. Our form of communication is extremely complex). Here are Anisten and Rob enjoying one of the many slides.

Rob and Anisten in the Lazy River. She doesn't really like taking pictures, but she did have a good time. She got pretty tired near the end.

It was kind of a cold Fourth. Colder than we were expecting. It got kind of cloudy and windy and Anisten got pretty cold at this point. Here she is all wrapped up in her towel trying to stay warm.

Here is a picture of all the cousins at Cherry Hill. The weekly gang.

This was Anisten's first time at Cherry Hill this year and I was so happy because she loved it.

Lexi and Anisten in Pirates Cove.

Last week we went to the Syracuse Parade. Anisten's first Parade. The police sirens kind of scared her.

She was happy once she got her candy and then she seemed to lose interest. She held on to those two pieces of candy pretty much the whole time.

I just wanted to give a shout out to my parents. Happy Birthday yesterday Mom!! Happy Birthday tomorrow Dad!! Love you guys. Thanks so much for letting us live with you and interfere in your lives for probably a whole year. You're awesome.

Cute pictures. Looks like you have a little water baby! I'm glad you had a good 4th. I miss all the local parades. We don't have a 4th parade here I think because it's too hot.

Sounds like you had a great holiday. i am jealous that you have a season pass to Cherry Hill. We love it there, it is just kinda expensive so I don't go a whole lot. Very cute pics though, how fun that Anisten has so many cute cousins to play with.

hahah, I love the picture of her wrapped up in the towel and I am totally enjoying your glasses Brianne. I am in some desperate need of some new ones, where'd you get yours?

I love Cherry Hill!!! I can't wait until next summer when Lexi is old enough for some summer fun. Anisten is so darling, I love her little swimming suit!

Aniston is the cutest little bug. Glad you guys had a great time on the 4th. I ran into your brother again yesterday. That kid makes me laugh. Seriously.
