Happy 4th of July

We had a pretty fun 4th. It started off with a children's bike parade down Main street. All the kids decorate their bikes and they ride down Main street like a little parade. It only lasted about 8 minutes but it was cute. The kids loved it, of course!Later in the afternoon we drove downtown for all the festivities. They had a small antique car show, lots of food vendors, crafts, music, games for the kids, hot-air balloons and fireworks. After being there all day I was so exhausted so we didn't quite make it all the way to see the fireworks that night, we came home early and I fell asleep at 8:30pm!! I tell ya...humidity takes it out of you! Overall, we had a good time.This is the main building at VMI-Virginia Military Institute. It is right next door to Washington and Lee University. Not very many people realize we have 2 colleges side-by-side in little Lexington, Virginia.

It sounds like you guys had fun. I totally know what you mean about the humidity. In PR is so miserable, you walk around for a minute and you feel like you jogged a mile.

HI guys, It looks like a fun eventful 4th of July. The hot air ballons were beautiful and HUGE, how fun to see them so close. Heid's, remember you are 'prego' too. I was ALWAYS in bed by 8:30-9pm in my first trimenster. It is a tired time...I am sure the humidity had a lot to do with it too...I remember in in WI and HATED it!!! Miss the mish at times, but NOT the weather!!!
