The 4th of July weekend- part 3: Sunday

We all slept in Sunday morning, much needed from the late nights. We decided we needed to do something fun with the dogs since they have been left out of all the fun the last few days. Around mid morning we headed off to the dog park, which Etta calls the mountains. Hatcher and Scoscia splash and swam in the water. Etta and Gibson threw rocks in the water. While I took pictures and Andy played in the water with them everyone. On our way back Hatcher got a bit tense around a big Malamute. The two dogs barked and Hatcher ended up with two small bite marks on the back and a bite in his ear. Poor Hatcher his ear has been killing him but it is getting better.

My dogs are not to fond of swimming but they will play in the water

My cute family: Husband, 2 kids and 2 dogs

Etta loved having daddy attention making sure she didn't slip

The water was perfect to cool off the little toes

Headed home

After the dog park we were going to hit up the taco stand but Andy had a better idea. We hit up Smith's for some cabbage and plain yogurt. Gibson was asleep and we had the dogs in the back so me and Etta sat on the grass dancing and watching the dogs and Gibson. Once home Andy made some amazing fish sandwiches. We enjoyed them while playing casino and spades (i hate spades).
Etta just love to wear dresses and dance, dance, dance

Two tired yet crazy dogs

Off to the Ball game. The is the first time ever the Bees have had a evening Sunday game and fireworks! We got there and enjoyed the upper seats for a bit in the shade. Gibson and Etta were just darling during the national anthem. Gibson put his hat on his heart and Etta placed hers on her tummy. They were just darling. Then it was down to our seats to watch the game some of the here and there with added time for coloring, Bumble and a churro. During the bottom of the 8th inning I popped out the glow sticks for this kids to play with and keep entertained until the fireworks. We all had a great time and ended with more fireworks. I will say the fireworks show the Bees put on is the BEST in the state!

Hats and hand on their hearts for the National Anthem


Coloring, coloring and coloring

Of course Gibby got another ball to add to his collection.

Happy silly daddy

I just caught up on your blog, at least I think I caught up. I didn't realize I had missed so much.
I can't believe another bday has come and gone for Gibby. Next thing you know, my Tucker will be 5! Yikes!
Etta is such a pretty girl, enjoy all those dress and skirt days, I did.
I am glad that you enjoyed your family time. I enjoy being with mine also. We have been going tot he pool a lot to stay cool this summer. Might as well, it is free for us here on base.
Have a great weekend.
