Luna had a fun packed weekend this July 4th! Several pool parties, lunch dates, and a parade. Whew! We started Friday afternoon with a nice lounge in the pool. Baby pool that is! We decided to leave her large baby pool indoors as it is still a fun ball pit for her and bought a little wading Whale Pool for her to use outside. She loved it!
We started off Saturday with lunch at Dream Cafe up in Addison meeting Luna's little buddy, Mila and her mom Carmen. We also met our old friend Mary and her 2 sons Isiah and Caleb.
Sunday Luna and I headed up to my mom's house for lunch. It was so hot we decided to skip the pool. Yes, too hot for the pool! I just hate getting poor little Luna out in this heat.
On Monday, the 4th, we packed up Luna's Radio Flyer and drove a mile down the road for the annual Lake Highlands 4th of July Parade. We met her little playgroup friends Alejandro, Clay, Caden, Jack and Tessa while we watched the parade go by. Luna was mesmerized by the firetrucks, man on stilts and all the cheer leaders. We stood under a batch of trees but it was still pretty hot as you can see poor Luna's cheeks were flushed!
I also locked my keys in the car for the first time ever in my life! I was having a mommy brain moment I guess as we were rushing to get out of my car and get her wagon set up. It is impossible to lock the keys in the car so I think I accidentally sat on them which activated the auto-lock and then forgot to pick them up (I always set them down in the backseat when I go to get Luna out of her carseat- maybe I should hold onto them as I get her out from now on so I don't forget them?) Luckily our neighbors (Jack's parents) were there to save the day and drove Todd home to get the spare set. Heather kept us company while I was pulling my hair out as to how this could happen, and on such a hot day :)
I was glad to make it home because Todd had to go into work and we didn't want him to be late! Luckily Luna went down for her morning nap pretty quickly too.

After her needed morning nap, it was off to Aunt E's pool party. Coco was there and a few of Erika's friends as we enjoyed the salt water pool. It is also a dark blue color, so it makes it feel more shaded and not as hot!
Then it was off back home for Luna's 2nd nap of the day. The sun really wore her and her momma out because we both fell asleep around 3:30 and didn't wake up until 5:30pm! We decided we could still make it to Todd's cousin's house for their annual pool party and meet Todd there as he was getting off of work. So off we went to Jeff and Angie's house to see cousin Fletcher, Evelyn and Jefferson. Luna had a lot of fun in the pool with her daddy. But after her full day in the heat, she was ready for bed by 8:30pm, no fireworks this year. Maybe next year Luna will last a little later and be able to stay up for them!
