4th of July Weekend

The 4th turned out to be a wonderful day. Taylor and I got our pedicure- so relaxing! Then we went over to the Chris and Jen's next door for the BBQ. We had chicken burgers and sausages, corn, and a delicious pasta salad that Mia brought over that had avocado, yellow peppers and grape tomatoes in it. Yummy! Everyone sipped on Corona's and a pineapple Mojito that Elizabeth made. Of course, my drink of choice was water, but everyone said the Mojito's were delicious.

Unfortunately, it rained until around 9:30 so I didn't get any pictures because it was dark by the time we got the fireworks started. I'm not a big fan of setting off your own fireworks, especially in the dark. So the girls and I chose to watch the fireworks from inside Chris and Jen's house while the boys and Taylor ventured outside to light them.

Saturday we got up early so we could visit the Habitat for Humanity store in search of a dresser for Owen's room. No luck! On the way home Jason spotted a couple consignment furniture stores that we stopped at as well. Still no luck, but it was fun to look at all the furniture. Some of the pieces were antiques. We love looking at old furniture. Jason likes to look at how well the old pieces of furniture were made compared to furniture made today.

Saturday evening we went to Olive Garden for dinner. It's Taylor's favorite restaurant and her pick for the evening. Every time we go there I'm reminded why I don't like Olive Garden all that much anymore....horrible service and the food is not that great. But it was really nice to get out of the house and have a family dinner out. Once Owen gets here we won't be able to do that for a while.

Sunday we went to see Wall.E. What a cute movie! I would definitely recommend this one! It's a great family flick that adults can enjoy as well.

So, that was our 4th of July weekend! We hope everyone had a wonderful and safe weekend as well!!
