4th of July fun!

Swimming

Freedom Fair

Ella really enjoyed all the bouncy slides!

That was the biggest snake I have ever seen!

She liked the snake, but didn't want it on her..so Daddy wore it and held her.

Ella and the giant turtle...she loved it!

This is Jericho Road, I remember in middle school we drove to Eugene to watch their concert..I was so going to marry one of them, I don't remember which one though..haha

Grand Parade

Ella didn't do so well at the parade this year.
She just got WAY to hot.
So I had Joe take her back to the hotel to play in the pool for most of the parade,
but I think she enjoyed the little bit that she got so see!

Lily, Little Miss USA

The group

Some dude walked around handing out soda,
Ella was pretty excited when he gave one to her!

Ella makes friends so easy..
this is her and one of the little girls that sat next to us

Ella and George

Lily
Lily and Me
Daddy and the girls
Glen Beck, my Moms favorite person ever..
Shedaisy
The Jonas Brothers
Me and my Mom super excited for the Jonas Brothers..hahaha
(I guess Lily didn't want to pose super excited with us)

The girl that sat behind us was really SO excited for the Jonas Brothers! (we think she was a little special) She screamed the whole time..
poor Lily didn't quite know what to think about all that screaming!
The fireworks were really close, like so close the ash burnt my shirt!
Ella got sick about half way through the show so Joe took her and they stood in the back for the rest of the time.
She must have been feeling better after it was over because she was really excited to play with all the glow bracelets that Grandma and Papa got for her.
