4th of July weekend

We've had a great holiday weekend celebrating the 4th of July. Brayden was in his first "parade" on Saturday morning with lots of other children in my parents neighborhood. All of the kids decorated their bikes, scooters or wagons and went around a few blocks with a fire truck leading the way. I think Brayden enjoyed it...he loves to ride in his wagon all the time.
We got a big surprise at the parade too when my sister & niece showed up from Wilmington and learned that Brayden has a cousin on the way. Come February, Brayden won't be the baby in the extended family anymore...we are very excited to meet the new addition!

We spent Saturday & Sunday nights at Greg's parents house. We got in a little sun and fun at the pool, and then watched fireworks both nights in their neighborhood. Brayden was VERY scared by the fireworks for the first few minutes, but he eventually calmed down a little to watch (Callie on the other hand was a nevous wreck the whole time). Brayden was definitely holding on tight to his momma the whole time though. Maybe he'll enjoy them a little better next year.
