Vacation Day 3...

Off to the pool we went right away this 4th of July. We spent the morning playing with the girls, who are both becomming braver and braver in the water as each day passes. Emma graduated to stepping off the steps and being pulled around in the water by any family member (not just mommy). Anna just loved splashing around, we've had to watch her too because she just dives into the water! After lunch we got cleaned up and ventured to downtown Wilmington to shop and stay to watch the big fireworks show that evening. It was a really hot afternoon and Emma stopped at every girly store there was! She had her own spending money and she was itching to spend it :-) The fireworks started and both girls actually enjoyed them! Emma was scared at first wanting her daddy, but then after a few minutes she thought they were so pretty (probably because we kept pointing out the pink fireworks, her favorite color)! The show ended and we quickly hopped in the car to drive back to our hotel about 30 minutes away. We stopped short of our parking spot and ended up being stuck in the parking deck for 61 minutes! We found out later on that there was an accident at the front of the parking deck so noone was able to exit. We got back to our hotel late, put the girls down to bed and were quickly behind them. All in all it was a pretty good 4th of July in Wilmington!
