Armed Forces Day is a PARTY!

 We have had the best weekend-- Saturday day we went to a library street party-- to kick off their summer reading program-- there were carnival games...
 and there was a firetruck!
 Oh- and a VERY ghetto version of Minnie showed up.... bless her heart-- but Emmy was over the moon and kept asking her "what are you doing HERE?!"
 Then that night there was "Thunder Over Augusta"-- a celebration to honor Armed Forces Day--
 Ellie's new thing is to "fly like a bird"-- she flaps her wings and runs just like Emmy does-- it's so cute.
 There was a dog on the blanket behind us-- let's just say, Emmy didn't need the fireworks...
 There was a Jo Dee Mesina concert, blow up things and the best fireworks show I have seen yet-- all for FREE!

 They also had tanks that you could explore!


It was sooooo fun-- Elles HATED the fireworks at first and cried her eyes out for the first 2 songs-- just about the time she started to like it-- my patrioticness got to me and I cried my eyes out-- finally we all got control of ourselves and LOVED the end-- Emmy had to fly with joy and Elles would burst into applause when one was really bright.
