4th of July

Whew, we are back home......and have a few piles of laundry to do, unless someone else would like to do them. Actually, laundry is probably my favorite house chore to do, at least if I have a washing machine and dryer. No way on earth I would go down to the river and scrub....we would wear them dirty...lol...just kidding.

I was trying to find a picture from last years 4th of July but I can't find it, I will try looking some more later. I wanted to do a then and now picture of him. But I finally got another digital camera, and I asked Aydan to give me a kiss and Mariano was going to take a picture but this is how it turned out. He opened his mouth at the very last minute, I actually think it was trying to go bite my nose.


We went to Patriot Park because there was supposed to be a lot of things to do there, nothing to see....so parking was $20, yes you read that right, so Daddy dropped us off, and he went back because we were only 3 blocks away so he parked the car and Scott came and got us. We were waiting on Scott, but also Stephen's girlfriend got a phone call, which you can see in the back ground, that her Grandfather has just passed away. So Stephen, Tracy, and Michael (Tracy's son) left on Saturday morning.

The three amigos...Scott had brought me a shirt identical to his and he called asking what size did I want. I said XL but it turned out to be a night gown on me. So we had to take it back and I was going to exchange it but that was the only size that they had and I knew that it was not going to shrink down to fit. So Scott said just to take the money and buy something else. Mariano did the exchanging while I was in the bathroom, Scott had paid with his debit card so they only placed the money back on the card. Least to say I got a $5 T-shirt.

The REAL THREE AMIGOS!?!?! This was the best one that we had because Aydan wasn't in the posing mood. Can you tell whose white and whose not??? Aydan is wearing Carter's Carhatt's overhauls. I love overhauls, if I had my way he would probably wear overhauls everyday....






We took Aydan to ride some rides for the first time. I am still a little nervous because I don't really know what he is going to do. But he was okay with this ride until the worker started manually spinning them and he did not like that at all.





I had to take this picture. I have been wanting to do this for a while, actually before we had his hair cut. But we His face expression is just a little weird there. But still adorable.






He liked the train. I rode with him the first time and when we went to get off, he was a stomping his feet because he wanted to ride again. Let me tell you about a rip off. These kiddie rides took one ticket and if you bought one ticket it was $2.99 ea. RIDICULOUS.....or you could get 6 for $16....STILL RIDICULOUS. This place was packed out too.



The first time Aydan rode the swings he was kind of uptight with it. Wouldn't smile or let go of the bars but the second time he knew what was happening. He would wave at us and so forth. But when it was time to get off and the worker went to get him out of his sit, Aydan was just shaking his head at him! We all laughed.




This was the cheapest ride...$.50. Aydan didn't care for it at all because it kind of rocked too hard and he didn't know how to ride it properly. Maybe we should have tried the giraffe. He also rode a another cheap ride the Dump Truck and still did not like it either. He was fine while it was still. I don't want to pressure Aydan but I kind of want him to wild a little bit instead of being scared....
