Fourth of July!

Happy Birthday America!!! That's what we taught Savannah to say this weekend, since every time we might do something out of the ordinary, she thinks it's a birthday party for someone! And she was right in her own little way! It was a GREAT weekend once again. We spent Thursday night with Savannah getting to play on her new swing set with her cousins, Emily, Erin and Ryan, who were spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa. Then Friday we took it easy and later in the evening we hit downtown St. Charles to check out the festivities with Matt, Theresa and Danny. We were going to stay for the fireworks, but decided to wait until the actual Fourth. Sadly, the parade was rained out Saturday morning and so we opted out of it. Then the annual Weaver BBQ got cancelled, but we are VERY grateful that Great Grandma Wehmeyer is doing much better and hopefully will have a full recovery at home this week. So instead we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for a BBQ and Savannah had a ball with all her cousins, aunts and uncles. After that we went back to the riverfront to see the fireworks with Aunt Denise, Uncle Dave, Emily and Ryan. Savannah had a great time walking around, seeing the sights and enjoying the company, not to mention the funnel cake Aunt Denise got for everyone! Of course, it was clear skies up until five minutes before the fireworks started and then it started raining! Thank heavens we have an easy going child, who loved watching the show and told her Daddy, that it's just a little water! We left half way through the show and got back to the car and dried off and into PJ's. Savannah was asleep five minutes from leaving the parking lot and slept in till 9 then next morning!!! So it wasn't the typical Fourth of July for Denison family, but we enjoyed it and had a great time with family and friends. Next week we are off on our first ever family vacation to sunny Branson! Can't wait to see the sights and relax for a few days.
