Happy 9th!

So it's a little late but I wanted to share the fun we had during our 4th of July weekend. It all started with a trip to Bond Park for Kora's first parade. It was really more like a mini-parade but still fun; we got to decorate our bikes and her trailer then join some other kiddos in (pretty much walking) about 1/4 mile. Kora loved every minute of it, from the singing performance to waving at adoring onlookers. The fun continued with her first dance show that afternoon. The American Dance Festival is in town and has these awesome children's matinees that several performing groups are offering and are geared especially for the kiddos. As soon as I found out about them the hubby and I conferred and bought tickets to see Pilobulus. If you have never seen them before they are awesome! We did take the camera, in hopes that the members would come out afterwards and I could possibly get some pics of her with them, but that didn't quite pan out. Instead we hung out for a little bit outside of the theater, listening to the music, then headed over to the Tobacco District where we ate at a yummy restaurant called Cuban Revolution. (This was a REALLY big deal because normally the hubs doesn't like to stray too far from his "favorites", i.e. pizza, burgers, etc. We wrapped up the weekend with a relaxing BBQ at a friends house where Kora had a blast playing in the kiddy pool and eating all kinds of yummy food. The girl pretty much inhaled 3 barbecue chicken legs much to my astonishment! I forgot the camera for this so don't have any pics of the fun but rest assured we had a blast!
