Staycation

While my whole family met up in Oregon for a party at my parent's house-here is what we were up to in Flagstaff. I'll post new pictures each day for a week-so come back soon!


4th of July!!!


We went to the parade on Monday morning. Charlotte has been looking forward to the parade for weeks. She brought her favorite dino "Mud" along.


Our favorite entries were the horses of course. They had sparkly painted hooves and some kind of sparkly dust all over their coats-they were so pretty.





The Hopi tribe was also a very cool entry. The Hopi Indians along with the Navajo make up a huge portion of our population in N. Az. It is so cool to see them in their traditional wear.

For some reason the kid in the front was decorated with bags of chips; his back said "feed me". This was amusing and sad at the same time.


Olivia had a blast and waved at everyone that passed by. She also ate about a dozen lollipops throughout the parade. As soon as the candy hit the pavement it was inserted in her mouth!



Even Finn got to celebrate with some juicy watermelon.


This is Olivia's Statue of Liberty impression.


Charlotte and I spent Sunday afternoon making these confetti rocket poppers.


She thought they were so cool.


Here they are making a mess on the porch.



Happy 4th!
