4th of July

Late this afternoon we took the girls to a new park in Florence and then to watch the fireworks display on the river. The park has a water fountain that people play in. So we let the girls run in it...or I should say we let Abigail(as you can see in the pics Emma is content to roam around checking out the sites or just hangin out by herself. She tickles me to death. Abigail was over there laughing and squealing as she ran around in the water. She can't stand to wear wet clothes so she eventually got down to just her cinderella panties--and she really wanted them to go too! At one point she looked at me and said, "Mommy, take your shirt off!" I said, "No, I don't think mommy needs to do that." Meanwhile, Emma Catherine was exploring and hanging out with Greengrad--I just love the way she calls him that. They both enjoyed the fireworks. But Emma didn't want to get too close. So she and Greengrad watched from about 50 yards away from the rest of us. And in true Emma style she talked about the fireworks the rest of the night! Abigail loved all the pink ones(I told her they were just for her) She and I clapped and screamed after each round. It is so great to have a reason to act like a little kid again! Hope you enjoy the pics.
