We had a wonderful weekend! My niece, Caoilinn, spent the weekend with us. As our little hometown was celebrating it's tri-centennial, there were a lot of fun things to do. We spent the weekend celebrating the tricentennal and Meghan's Birthday. We started off on the town green helping the woman's club put together and ice our annual tradition of a huge cake that we hand out to everyone (for free) while they are listening to music on the green. As usual, during the 4th of July celebration, there were two bands. The first one was an orchestra that played a lot of the old songs and the second was a rock band. Both were great. Caoilinn loved helping with the cake and danced to the music.
We eventually went out to dinner at a great, local Latin restaurant and then on to the carnival. Caoilinn went on every ride (some two & three times) and had a great time. It was fun to see her smile and scream on the rides. Meghan was a great sport and went on many of the rides with Caoilinn. Even though she was terrified of the Ferris Wheel, she put up a brave front and took her cousin on the ride. They both had fun. After the carnival we headed back to the green for the Fireworks. They were great!
The tricentennial ended on Sunday with a great parade! There were over 70 groups marching (from all over the tri-state area) and it went on for a delightful hour and a half. Our little town really put on an impressive weekend.
What a fun weekend.

Meghans birthday was Monday. As usual we started celebrating early. On Friday we went out for pedicures and dinner at 59 Bank. Then on Saturday and Sunday attended all the tricentennial celebrations. On her actual birthday we went to OUTBACK! We love Outback. Of course the waitstaff sang happy birthday to her!
I will be featuring Meghan on my blog soon showing off some of her work. She is a photographer / artist who does some amazing work that I can't wait to share (as soon as she sends me some photo's I can display).
Still missing Kerry Ann who is still away at camp. I pick her up on Saturday. Then on Sunday we are off to see Gypsy at the dinner theater. Another fun weekend in the works!
Hey, our bowling team ("Mines in the Gutter") is in 2nd Place (Yes, I said 2nd). We won all three points on Monday night. Maybe we will be in first place next week...how funny is this!
Still looking for the winner of my blog candy to contact me. I went to her blog but could not find a way to contact her. If you know Kim, can someone please let her know to contact me. Thanks!
