July 4th

We took advantage of the long weekend and planned a few fun things to do.  On Friday, we took Ms. Izzy to the zoo.  She loves animals and always has a blast.  We got to ride the train this time and she loved it.  She is very big into trains right now and she probably would have ridden it all day long if she could.  

On Saturday, we went to Downtown Grapevine and did some shopping and lunch with Mandi.  That evening, we went to my parent's house for dinner, swimming and homemade strawberry ice cream (my favorite part)!  That night we finally got to take Izzy to see the fireworks.  I think I was more excited than she was.  She was finally old enough to stay awake long enough to see them and what did she do?  She was more interested in the cars driving by than actually watching the fireworks.  Oh well, maybe next year.  :)
