Finally the Fourth

Sunday, July 12, 2009


As usual, we went to Brevard, NC for the 4th of July.  John's aunt and uncle, Bebe and Uncle Dave, live there.  We had a great time spending the week with John's family and seeing a good amount of Rebecca's cousins.  

On the morning of the 4th, we headed downtown for the street festival.  For those of you from Cleveland, it reminds me a lot of Crosstie or October Fest.  There are tons of people, lots of arts and crafts booths, food everywhere you look, and some fun things for the kids.  

First, Rebecca, Papa, and I rode on the train.  



It looks innocent enough, right?  Wrong!  It was a train ride from &%#@!  The conductor had the train twisting and turning and going around and around and around in circles.  Rebecca didn't seem to mind, but Rusty and I were both green when we got off.  Rebecca's older cousins thought that the conductor had been hitting the juice a little too early in the morning.  

After the train John and I got some lemonade, or I should say that Rebecca and I got lemonade.  I do not think that Rebecca was sharing very well with her daddy.  

Rebecca stopped to visit the local wildlife.  

Then she decided to take a stroll, just like last year.

After the stroll, she wanted to get out and dance in the street...

and play in a fire truck.  She wanted to push all the buttons in there, and got really mad at us when we would not let her.  

Rebecca pitched a fit all the way down the street from the firehouse to Rocky's, an old soda shop.  I think the poor baby was starving, because she at more than John and I did put together. 
What chu looking at?

After lunch we headed back to our house for nap time.  Here Rebecca is napping with Papa, Caroline, Lucy, and Mimi.  

After nap time, we went to Brevard College to look for white squirrels. Rebecca was so excited to see one and chase it.  
And chase it.  
All the way up a tree.  

I felt really bad because there were a few people at the college trying to take pictures of this white squirrel, and Rebecca chased it up the tree and out of sight.  Oh well, she had a blast.  

Finally we went to Bebe and Uncle Dave's for a barbeque.  Delicious!
Eating homemade peach ice cream!
Rebecca's playhouse that her cousins made for her.  

Playing in the playhouse.

Playing ball with Papa and Cousin Stephen.  Check out that throw.

We had a wonderful 4th.  We are already looking forward to next year.  

Rebecca and I were able to stay a few days more after the 4th.  John had to get back to work. We had a blast with Mimi and Papa, and I was very thankful for the help. 

I didn't take many pictures after the 4th, but I couldn't resist this one of Rebecca playing dress up in her daddy's socks and shoes.

You came to NC and did not let me know.
I'm pissed. That is all.
