Happy 4th of July!

Maddie and Daddy enjoying a cuddle at the 4th of July festival.

Maddie contemplating what she can next get into with her trusty balloon friend at her side!

Celebrating the 4th of July entailed sleeping in, having a nice big breakfast mid-morning, house cleaning, and enjoying the festivities over at the University of Delaware in Newark! They had live music playing, some carnival games, vendors, politicos (of course), and I think Maddie's favorite - balloons! We attempted to stay until the bitter end for the fireworks, unfortunately, storm came rolling in just a bit before they were due to go off. We spent a couple of hours lounging around on the grass listening to music letting Maddie play, but, the rain won out (since there was a raindate posted for the fireworks) unfortunately for us....they still did the fireworks after we had left. So, no fireworks for us this year...we still had a good time, and I learned what we should and should not bring with us for next year!
