A Fun-Filled Fourth!

We had a fabulous weekend here in CT-appreciating the holiday festivities, extra time off, and beautiful sunshine! The weekend started out early as Chris worked a half day from home on Thursday, allowing us to enjoy some extra time as a family. Aiden and I met up with some friends in the park, then we met Chris for a special weekday lunch at one of my favorite spots downtown. After naptime, we headed to Stew Leonards, which is only the best grocery store on Earth. Aiden LOVES all the dancing characters and samples while I LOVE all the fresh produce and meat! It's a win-win way to grocery shop with a 18 month old. Here are some pictures of Aiden just playing around the house during the day:

On Friday, we headed to the beach in the morning-one of my favorite things about living on the CT shoreline! Aiden spent almost the whole time munching on food, even enjoying a very messy Kit-Kat bar (Thanks Grammy for leaving a few!). After exhausting our time at the beach, we headed to the playground right across from it to wear Aiden out before naptime! He LOVED all the climbing and crawling he could do. That night, we headed out for dinner at a brewing company. Aiden LOVES to go out to eat because he meets so many new people...usually by the time we leave restaurants we have officially greeted every person in the entire place:)

We spent Saturday getting things done around the house and then headed over to our neighbors for one of Aiden's closest friends, Emilie, 2nd birthday party! We had a great time relaxing and ate some very delicious food!!

Sunday-we headed to church in the morning, rested a bit in the afternoon, and headed to a friend's house for a bbq get-together. Aiden loved splashing in the baby pool and we enjoyed some great company and food. We headed down with our friends to the beach to watch the fireworks and even though it was way past his bedtime, Aiden LOVED them!!

Look how busy the beach gets!

We enjoyed another extra day of vacation on Monday and will be bummed to have Chris back at work for the rest of the week:) Hope you all had a great Fourth of July weekend!!!
