This year, my parents joined us for their summer vacation the week of July 4th. We ventured out for the day and ended up at Baytowne Wharf to do a little walking around. I didn’t realize nor did anyone else, that we would be coming into a small festival! :) It turned out quite fun even if it was about 200 degrees outside! Between eating, playing, face painting and carousel riding the girls and adults had a great time. It was definitely more interesting then sitting around the house!
Usually, I have the girl’s outfits for the 4th of July outfits picked out but time got away from me and I had nothing! Until I remembered I had bought these dresses for some summer pictures. SCORE!
Someone gave us a free ticket to the carousel which I’m really happy they did. That was the shortest ride I had ever seen. I think she went around 5 times and it was done. The face painting was really neat. The lady was super talented and it took her less than 2 minutes to get Lillian’s face transformed :) Natalie was thinking she wanted to do it and then was like I don’t want a strange person touching me!
By the time we had done all of our activites we were looking for any reason to sit in a cool place so we hit up the gelato cafe for a cool treat.
After our refreshing treat and a stop at Acme Oyster House for beers and oysters we got back to playing! After a fun filled day, we headed home to rest before the fireworks.
We put on a good firework show and thought we did good until some neighbors near us started theirs! I think they spent their entire life savings on their fireworks! It just kept going and going and going! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
