Fourth of July

We had a great time in Youngstown on the 4th. The 5 hour drive went smoothly, and the girls slept well, despite the fireworks. This was our first out-of-town stay since Christmas, and this time we didn't have to drive home at 1 AM!

Brandon and Lauren caught this frog in the creek. We nearly had her convinced to kiss it, but I guess she didn't believe that whole prince thing.

The Canfield parade was a blast. Lauren came home with more candy than she could eat in a year. What fun!
Thanks to Debbie, both girls were decked out in festive attire. Lauren is showing off her very first face-painting in this picture.
I think the glitter visor suits her, don't you?

Robin and Dana made the trip home to celebrate with us. They went on many, many walks with their nieces while waiting for the parade to begin.

It was a chilly morning so we wrapped Sami in an extra T-shirt. She's trying on Robin's sunglasses in this picture.
Who knew the best donuts on the planet could be found at the Canfield parade?
