4th and 5th

I love the 4th of July; one of my favorite holidays for sure. We had every intention on going all out this year but by the time 6 pm came around we changed our minds (no fireworks for us).

We made sure to make it to the Fairfax parade in the morning. I think the reason we were done by 6 pm was due to our hot hot walk to the parade. Ansleigh loved the bands and dancers the most, that is really all that is fun in a parade anyways. I had the girls wear the dresses I made. They are called pillowcase dresses and are extremely simple and perfect for my first dress. I plan to get more adventurous but need to start with the basics. I think they turned out pretty cute for such a simple dress. 

The evening of the 4th consisted of burgers, disc golf and a lot of patriotic country music (Dave surprisingly didn't complain about that). 

Yesterday Dave, Lucy and I went to the Giants Nats game Once again it was blazing hot, but we still had a ton of fun and the 9 innings went by surprisingly fast. I think watching baseball on TV is so boring but it is so much fun in the stadium, partially due to the amazing people watching (ha!). I hope we keep going to Nats games, even if the Giants aren't in town!
