Happy 4th!!!

Maddy is enjoying an awesome first fourth of July weekend! Here are some pics of her modeling her cute "Fourth wear" and some other from her first visit to Kennywood!!!

She got to...
Ride the train AND the Merry-go-round!
Visit with her future BF Jackson =0)
Try her very first Potato Patch French Fry!
See a laser show AND fireworks display!!!

Maddy was wide-eyed and amazed during the whole visit. She loved to see all the kids run around amidst the twinkling lights and festive music. She (and daddy) also got a kick out of watching mommy (and grandma!) scream on some roller coasters. Amazingly, Maddy did not cry ONE TIME through the whole visit. While all the other babies were being pushed around sound asleep in their strollers, there was little Maddy sitting straight up with those big browns, looking all over, not wanting to miss a second. The poor lil' pumpkin finally dozed off around 10:30 and through most of the fireworks display--until the big finale kicked in, and her big eyes flew open with her hands immediately covering those precious ears!

Now, Mommy and Daddy are going to set sail on the Gateway Clipper Fleet for a 4th of July river cruise/fireworks extravaganza in the city. This the first time both of us have done the cruise and it's the first time we have both been away from Maddy overnight--so Maddy's not the only one to try new things this weekend! While Maddy stays at grandma and pappy's, we'll be looking forward to lots of food, drinks, fun and... most importantly...sleep!!! Happy fourth everyone!!!
