On Wednesday we enjoyed the Arlington 4th of July parade. The parade route is really close to our apartment, so we didn’t have to travel too far to get there. Becca enjoyed seeing a real parade and kept asking if she could ride on the floats. Isaiah was hungry!
Tuesday night we got together with the Countryman and Rodriguez families. Heather wanted to have us all over before René, Yani, & Amaris move back to SC. Becca loved swimming in the Countrymans’ pool. She amazed us with she fearlessly jumped into the pool and would “swim” underwater.
Last Friday night we had Josh’s cousin, Christina over for dinner. Christina is down here house sitting and studying for the MCAT. We enjoyed our evening with her.
The collage below is of a project Becca enjoys making: “stained glass.” The big pull for her is using glue. It’s the second one she’s made within a week. The hands on the wall are the Bible verses we’re working on memorizing.
Becca quote of the week: “Daddy – can you stop kissing Mommy so she can read me a book?”
Happy 4th of July!! So glad you all got to experience the Arlington Parade!! I love the collage comparing July 2010 with July 2012! We had a fun day. Emily and I made our traditional Whip Cream American Flag Cake, then we went to Harrisburg and hiked around the State Capital building, strolled through a very deserted downtown Harrisburg, enjoyed a lovely concert of the Harrisburg Symphony performing in the baseball stadium on City Island, then sat along the Susquehanna River and watched the fireworks. It was so pretty to see the colorful reflection of the fireworks on the river among all the boats. And we heard the boom of each explosion three times! First the original sound, then the echo on the south end of the river, then the echo at the north end of the river. Very impressive!
