We wanted to go into DC to be there for all the 4th festivities. We really did. But the thought of being there for hours with a half million other people was a little overwhelming!! So we headed to Vienna's 4th Festival and had a great time!! Food, bounce houses and a 1 ring circus act. What more could you want??
The aerialist was really incredible!! They also had juggling (with knives and flames!) and some other tricks.
When we got home the kids played on the slip and slide.
Of course...seeing the 1 ring circus acts made the kids want to put on their own shows. We were the lucky viewers of 3 different "acts". Sophia and Grant did 1. Lucy did 1. And Joshua did 1. ;) All very unique and fun to watch!
We headed back down to a park in Vienna to watch fireworks. It was quite the popular spot to be!!
And we soon found out why!! Fireworks right.on.top.of.us. Right on top. They set them off on the other side of the trees in the ball field. Loud, big and bright. And so much fun. It was an amazing show!
The last morning...we were all dragging a bit. Some late nights and not so great sleep were taking a toll.
After a fun filled week...it was time to say good bye. Mary and Brad are off on such a wonderful adventure. The area they are in is beautiful and full of history and fun things to do. I'm so happy that we made the trek and got to spend time with them. And I can't wait until we can do it again. We stayed super busy, our feet hurt a bit...but we made some happy happy memories. Saying good bye was extra hard this time. Not sure when we will all be together again.
The trip must have made quite an impression on Sophia...because she has treated me to 2 spa treatments in the past 24 hours. :) A quiet little relaxation time. I'll take it!!!
