July 4th Weekend

Seth and I started off our weekend celebrating our 5 year anniversary in the city! We ended up walking the entire city, frequenting new establishments and made a pit stop by District Chophouse for a photo op - our first date! A special thank you to Amanda & Jude for watching the boys while we could enjoy an evening as adults!



Saturday we hit up the Leesburg Animal park. While I regretted not looking for coupons, I admit it was worth the entry fee. Ben had a great time... Feeding animals, tractor ride, and even his first pony ride. I was so proud of him for trying this... all on his own suggestion!



ooops








July 4th started with a trip to the ER for Ben's cough per the doctors request - while he seemed in good spirits he just couldn't kick it. An x-ray revealed a little walking pneumonia, but its nothing that a Popsicle couldn't fix!



The rest of the day we spent trying to beat the heat (and mostly alternating naps from our exhausting weekend). AJ enjoyed his first dip in the sprinkler and seemed to enjoy it.


Nana and Grandpop joined us in the afternoon for a BBQ. Fun was had by all as we lit sparklers from 2007, threw Pop-Its, and watched as the neighbors set off fireworks clearly bought in WV. We'll remember that for next year - we won't have to go far to enjoy the action!

  1. What a fun-filled weekend for all! Btw, the coupons for the animal park only save you a buck ;)
