4th of July

Our 4th of July was fun and quite enjoyable. We started the weekend on Friday heading out to kelley's mom's house, Mrs. Erin who let us swim, grill out and bring our pups to enjoy the 4th as well. THANKS ERIN!

Suprisingly the dogs like to cool off on the rafts.

Harley and Truman are such good buds.

J's belly was all red for the rest of the day from this belly flop!

The whole crew minus J and a typical face from ryan.

our grill was stuffed with AMAZING burgers and chickens!

SMOKIN'!

Then Saturday ryan and I headed over to the Bellaire to see the parade and work the Kay Bailey Hutchison tent that was there. It was a cute little parade that mostly consisted of fire trucks and old cars.

They had an olt timey band that played all the cool songs from back in the day. They were so cute!

They also had a petting zoo....me and the llama

and this is a scottish highlander cow....I thought he was cute and furry!

After bellaire, we went to kelley and j's apartment to enjoy some sun in the pool there for a few hours. Once it got to be too crowded we headed over to Sugarland to do some more campaigning. Kelley and J were nice enough to accompany us there.

Fianlly, we were done campaigning there and headed back over to downtown to see the fireworks show they had prepared for the night. It was FABULOUS! and I was suprised to see some new additions.

This smiley face was really cool, even though in the pic. he looks angry. There was also hearts in the show.

::SUNDAY:: ryan was working in the yard again and found this little guy under all the brush. He named him George and wouldn't stop talking to him. haha. so cute. He was asking what they like to eat and how to take care of them (luckily, I had experience with a turtle as a household pet) and I told him they eat lettuce and to just put him in some water. And so he did.

Sawyer was unsure of george.

As was Harley

But instead of keeping george out of the jungle we decided to free the little man in the Bayou on allen parkway. I think he will be much happier there.

It was another BLAZING hot day and the pups were panting pretty bad so we walked over to this fountain and let the dogs swim a little to cool off. They enjoyed it.

Now that the weekend was over I was able to enjoy a good nap after dinner. This is how sawyer and I like to cuddle. For some reason he enjoys sleeping on my head.

Well that was our fun little weekend. We also put up gutter on the backside of the house and spent some time with our neighbors Bill, Helen, Mrs. Angie and Matt. Hope everyone had a great 4th!!
