We started the day off with a trip to Chez Pierre in Tallahasse for a European Style Lunch!

Then we headed to The Brogan Museum to learn about natural energy.

We also went to Borders to get Mommy a coffee, Emily a snickerdoodle and we each got to get a book!

We headed back to Thomasville to have Baked Spaghetti, Salad & Sour Dough Bread at Gi Gi's house and then to the parade to meet Pa, Grandma, AJ & Abigail.

Christian had the best seat in the house! Or did Pa?

Emily and her Daddy had a great time watching the parade go by!

Emily got a kick out of the horses, motorcycles and the bands

Emily also enjoyed time with her cousins!

A group photo after a wonderful day!

Christian enjoyed some dancing in the streets after the parade was over. This is Mickey, a friend and brother in Christ.

Saturday Morning, we went to Gi Gi's for the official party. We were suppose to arrive in time to watch the race run by...but we were a little late and brought in the rear!
(but we all had showers and were at Moms by 8:50 am on a Saturday!)

I know this shot below is blurry but I had to include it. Aren't these two beautiful women!

After the party at Gi Gi's we went to Grandma & Pa's to swim. Somehow I didn't really get any shots of this, but we had a great time.
After swimming we came home, put jammies on and went for a walk. About half way thru we discovered this...

no nap days are always interesting!

This was aroung 7pm

We had them in bed by 8:30!
It was a great day!
