July 4th weekend and more

We were so happy to have our friends Katie and Craig VanTornhout visit us this year for July 4th. Katie has been one of my best friends for the past 9 years (met in college) and it has just been too long since we've seen each other. We decided to take part in the country music concert downtown Lexington called Red, White and Boom! It featured the artists Bucky Covington (American Idol finalist), Sarah Johns, Tracy Lawrence, Billy Currington John Michael Montgomery and more! Grace's friend Abigail came to watch the fireworks too! The kids really enjoyed themselves! We went to one of the local pools for the first time last week. It was more like a water park! Creatures to sit on, toddler water slides, fountains, bubbles, etc! Other than Grace being really cold (brrrrr), I know she had fun. We went with Grace's friends Megan and Abigail (and their mommy's of course).

We've also been going to Polo in the Park at the Kentucky Horse Park. Polo matches are played every Friday and Sunday for about 5 weeks and so far, we've been both times they've had it. We bring a blanket and some treats for Grace and watch the horses run back and forth. We even help stomp the divots at half time.

Last weekend, Grammie came to watch Grace so Evan and I could go to a bachelor/ bachelorette party. Grammie really enjoyed herself and really enjoyed being with Grace. She was so amazed with how much she has changed since the last time she saw her. Grace got her first black eye right before Grammie came- poor thing. She ran right into a chair- Ouch!
Grace and I also went to storytime at the library for the first time today with Megan (and Michelle). I am so happy that I've met Michelle and Nella because they always have something fun in mind to do with the girls.
