Well, our 4th of July was certainly not for the faint of heart or spirit--we put the energizer bunny to shame. Simone has anxiously awaited the visit of her cousin Madalyn for a long weekend packed full of summertime fun. We ate ice cream, we BBQ'd, spent a day at the Reston Water Mine, a day at the National Harbor, and the 4th on the National Mall from morning until the last firework exploded. Both girls were real troopers through the heat, the crowds, the late nights, and the loud noises. And well, who are we kidding... the mommies and daddies could barely keep up! Here's a peek at the weekend (in random order)...

The 4th of July parade downtown
And through it all we were all as red, white, and blue as it gets!
A little yabba dabba doo!

Saturday at the Water Mine
And last but not least, Simone and Tulie capped the weekend in their sailor dresses-- my two American girls!
