Happy 4th of July!!!

Yes this is VERY late.  However it was such a great night that I must post on it!

Dad treated us to a wonderful 4th of July!  Last year after leaving and being stuck in traffic for 3 hours with a 1 month old and not quite 2 yr old I had said we should try to rent a room at Embassy Suites.  Well Dusty looked into it & it was not doable for us.  But about 2 weeks before the 4th Dad called and asked if that was something we would be interested in.  I said YES!!!

We were allowed to invite 2 guests with us so we invited David & Steph Sceggel and it was great to have them along!  Isaac & Alex invited Tyler & Laura & then Mom and Dad were there as well.  We wished Ryan & Alyssa could have been there but things don't work out quite as you wish sometimes, either way it was fun!

Embassy Suites had lots to offer:
Dinner (cookout & you could get as much as you wanted)
Unlimited Cotton Candy, Kettle Corn & an assortment of beverages :0)
Each person got a voucher for an Ice Cream cone also
There were inflatables for Oliver to play on
The best part was the fireworks though it was amazing!  It was one hot day so we were able to hang out in the air conditioning until right before it started then have a nice seat & when they were over we said goodbye to our guests walked up stairs and took a shower - it was LUXURIOUS!

And of course there was Face Painting (free) So here are some pictures, unfortunately I don't have a lot but I do have some cute ones!

Mommy & Gia after face painting.  Gia was a Kitty Cat with only the ears , she was screaming too bad & they said she couldn't get anymore done... :0)

Oliver decided he wanted to be a Tiger & then later Nana got her face painted and Oliver wanted her to be a Tiger also, so she did :0)  I am not sure what Alex is trying to convey here but its cute.

I post this because it is good of Oliver but because the similarities between Alex & Mom and very similar here just with the lower portions of their faces...I never thought they really looked alike until now...

Our beautiful family of 4!  Dusty didn't want to get her face painted

Lastly a great picture of U. Alexander and Oliver
