4th of July Weekend + Lyla's 1st Clarks Concert!

We've had a crazy busy - super fun weekend!



Friday after work Lyla and I met her friend Alexis and her mom at the park.  The girls played for a couple hours then Lyla and I went and got subs for dinner.

Saturday morning we got up and Lyla and I met Amanda and the girls at the park.  They did the spray park and the playground.  After that Lyla and I went and got haircuts then she went over to Amanda's for the rest of the afternoon.  They did water balloons and swam in the pool.  Before bed Saturday night we set off fireworks at the house.




Sunday morning Lyla and I took her bike (minus her training wheels!) and went to practice!  She is thisclose to doing it on her own!  She can do it, she just isn't confident in it yet.  We are working at it though and I got a serious workout helping her!





After that we went home and got ready and headed to Indiana County for a festival that ended with a Clarks concert and fireworks.  Lyla was in her glory - there were tons of bounce houses!






Then it was time for the concert!  I was so excited to take Lyla to see the Clarks.  They are my favorite group to go see!  She asked me how many times I have seen them and I honestly don't know.  I would guess around 20 times.  And it made me so happy that she loved them too!  It was nice because it wasn't super crowded so her and I were able to go down front and dance the whole time!  After the show we hung around and I got her picture taken with Greg from the band!  She's my little groupie in training!  After the concert we stayed for the fireworks then headed home.  It was a late night, but totally worth it!












Today Lyla and I got up and got ready and went back to the park (again - I might as well set up a tent and start sleeping there) and met her friend Hailey, her mom and little sister to play for a few hours.  The girls had a blast playing and the moms really enjoyed chatting!  ;)




Then we came home and spent the rest of the day with Gary!

And just to end the weekend with a giggle - this is my favorite picture from the weekend.  I like to call it "How my family REALLY feels about the selfie stick"
