America's Birthday Party

Guess where we went this weekend... the pool! I think I've swam more this summer than I've swam in the past five years. Emmy has been obsessed with identifying flags for a while now, so she was in heaven today with American flags EVERYWHERE. we had to talk about all of them on the way to GiGi and Pops. We decided it was America's Birthday Party. Since we pretty much have some kind of birthday party at least every other week, she got this. No further explanation needed.
We started out making celebratory cupcakes. Some have snowflakes and holly berries on them, but so what. Cupcakes are cupcakes. Then we took a litle dip in the pool.

To many cupcakes +Ice Cream+steak+ a bunch of other food equals NAPTIME!!!! After a short break, we headed over to Katy Mills to our first Katy firework celebration with the cousins. There were a ton of kids and their reaction to the fireworks was great! They said "Whoa! Whoa! WHoa! "after every single firework.At the end Emmy Said "That was really cool." She liked the pink and the purple ones the best. Figures!

Happy Birthday America!
