Happy Fourth!

 Happy Fourth of July!!!!  

It was a very hot and humid day here, but we still headed to the square for the parade!  It was scheduled to start at 10am, and we were a few minutes late and almost missed it!  The parade (mainly children and families) was all over by about 10:15.  But we were there long enough for the boys to get flags and for us to take a few pictures.  

A very nice woman offered to take our picture, and this was the best we got of the four of us!

After lunch, some of our friends from Louisiana came to visit us, and we headed over to the Grove at Ole Miss, where they had some fun activities set up for the kids.  

A bucket full of turtles - H was in animal heaven!  They had a track set up for the turtles to race.   H somehow kept picking the slow poke turtles.  (Later when he was telling SweetHart about the animals, he was excited to tell her about the "turtle racers.")

The boys helped give a lamb a bottle of milk, and give a goat some grain (One goat nibbled H's finger!!!)

 The big boys.  

Between our two families, there were four little boys!  A wild and exciting time, to be sure!

 

 They had a bounce house! 
H and Alex loved it! 

 

C walked around the Grove with his snack cup and sippy cup, charming all of the little girls and grandmothers.  We think he's pretty cute, too!

 They were both worn out after.  A bounce house in 100 + degree weather..... I don't think I've ever seen H drink so much water at one time before!

The best friends.

They weren't so concerned with each others names, but would refer to each other as friend, buddy, that boy, or my best friend.  It was cute!  Come again soon!
