4th of July and MORE!

We headed down to Florida about 2 weeks ago. Giff had an interview on Thursday so we made a 4th of July vacation out of it. That weekend was the 53rd Annual Watermelon Festival in Chipley, Florida. So, we went to a Darryl Singletary concert Friday night a pancake breakfast and parade Saturday morning, an Earl Thomas Connely concert on Saturday afternoon and the festival booths all day Saturday! It was jam packed (and roasting hot) but a ton of fun.

Then we went to the lake for the week of the 4th. Had tons of fun in the sun with great friends. Giff had a little skiing accident on Friday morning (ski hit him in the face) but we got him fixed right up and it should only leave a little scar over his left eye.

Friday was the annual 4th of July Luau at the Park's place on the lake and Saturday was the fireworks show. AWESOME WEEKEND!

. . . and . . . GIFF GOT THE JOB! So we are going to be official Floridians! Well, I guess Giff always has been but it's a first for Hayden and I = ) So, we'll be packing up and moving to Graceville/Chipley very soon.

PS our house in Braselton is still on the market if anyone is interested = ) www.1041regencypark.com

Now for some pictures:
Hayden loves to read . . . here's Pepa reading to him while he drinks his milk
at the Darryl Singletary Concert there was a clown . . . Hayden was apprehensive
but finally let him give him a balloon poodle (that immediately popped = )

We went to the outlet mall and HG rode the apple/worm thingy. It moved around, played music and had all kinds of buttons for him to press . . . he loved it!

OK, I love the waverunner picture and the pic of all the daddys and the boys. You guys will make good Floridians. Although, I secretly hate you for moving.

What job did Giff get? When are you moving to Graceville? Aaron said we are going to visit his mom for a week in August so we should get together if you guys are there.
