Happy 4th of July!!

We had a long, busy, fun day today. We started the morning out my Marc making from scratch french toast. Yummy!
Next we went to Sand Lake for the afternoon.
We watched a parade. I have always liked parades and little Marc has become just as big a fan as me. :)After watching the parade we decided to "splurge" and let Marc ride more than 1 ride at their carnival. The first thing he chose was the slide on the burlap bag. One this ride 1 parent could go free with a child. So we decided to take advantage of it and both Daddy and I went with him (he was excited that he got to go twice).Next Marc chose the house of mirrors. After some time trying to figure out how to get out, and walking into a mirror, they found their way out.The was a twisty slide to get out of the house of mirrors. Marc tried to "catch" Daddy when he came down the slide.After the slide, Marc and Samantha went on a train ride.After the train ride, Marc and Daddy drove bumper cars.There was a kids roller coaster there that Marc LOVED! He actually chose to ride that one twice instead of something else.Daddy saw a concession cart that sold deep fried Oreos. He decided that he needed to try them. The thought of them was revolting to me (way too sweet), so Marc and the kids tried them. He said they "weren't bad".After lots of fun in Sand Lake, we headed home for awhile. (See next post to see what we did with that time)
After some dinner, we headed to Rockford for fireworks.
We had about 45 minutes to wait so Samantha spent the time playing with some of her toys.
Rockford has a "Blues on the River" concert series going on all summer. Marc enjoyed dancing to the music as we waited for fireworks.A cute picture of Marc and Daddy.
Happy 4th of July!! :)
