We had a nice 4th of July weekend. It started with a laid-back, fun Saturday. In the morning, we went swinging at Lindley Park not too far from our house (yes, we like to pretend we're kids again)...
It got pretty hot at the park, so we came home and decorated our house for 4th of July. A banner in our den, flags on both sides of our driveway, and of course patriotic leis to wear around our necks!
That Sunday, we went swimming at Lindley Pool, the public pool we go to nearby. It was a great way to get some exercise and to stay cool!
And since I was so obviously worn out after the swim...
We went to Sonic for a little treat - a grape slush for me, and a Diet Cherry Limeade for David...
That Sunday evening, we went to my parents house for a pre-July 4th cookout. David did the cooking at my parents house, but we ate on my grandparents patio (they live next door to my parents)...
The next morning, on the actual 4th, David and I got up and went to downtown Greensboro for the Fun Forth Festival, which started with the parade...
After the parade, we walked around the festival for a while, which included (of course) stopping by the Guilford County Republican Party and getting a VOTE REPUBLICAN sticker!!! We love showing our Conservative pride!
We finished up the weekend by doing a cookout with our friends Shane, Jaclyn, Brian, and Marsha (at Brian and Marsha's house) and then going to the Greensboro Grasshoppers game with them. LOTS of fun. We had to leave before the fireworks because an earlier rain delay had made the game run so late, but the sky was pretty enough to be better than any fireworks!
We are so thankful for the men and women that have fought for our freedom so we can enjoy activities like these!
