The day started out great -- lots of fun. The only draw back was the heat. We went to Harrisburg this year after hearing from a friend that it was a fun place to go. We missed the parade but we still were able to go do a bunch of free fun stuff with the kids. Face painting, balloon animals, tattoos, bounce house and obstacle course. There was even a skate boarding competition at the skate park that we went and watched. Since it was so hot -- we also ended up wading in the river to cool down. Wish we brought our suits. Anyways, we had a lot of fun. The problem was -- I guess it was a little too hot out for me with out drinking enough water. I ended up getting a HUGE headache OR what some might call heat exhaustion. It was so bad that I was almost throwing up from it and on the way home my legs were involuntarily shaking. I missed watching the fireworks because the bright lights and loud noises weren't helping. So Jackson and I waited in the car -- since he wasn't that big of a fan himself. But over all it was a fun day -- the kids had a blast!!
I know this is blurry -- but Jackson looked so cute............

this is the way I looked most of the night -- just trying to make the pain go away :)

I am so glad you went and had a good time (other than the heat exhaustion of course). We will be there next year for sure! Hope you had enough fun to go back and we can get together!
Hi April,
Great photos of the kids! Addie, Gwen, Jackson... beautiful family. Sam's new hairdo... he always makes me laugh. You are a brave heart.
