This was our second year attending the Garner celebration at Lake Benson. This year however, Camille's buddy Madelyn and her family came with us.
Camille and Madelyn headed straight for the bounce house area upon arrival. Their eyes were so big just taking in all the bounce house options available to them. They ended up jumping a few minutes in each before wanting to try a new one out. They even braved the giant slides! The look on Camille's face was priceless... you may need to zoom in on the slide pictures to see it!
After all the bouncing, we convinced the girls to sit for a few minutes while we enjoyed our picnic dinner. The girls were more into trading sunglasses than eating. Oh well, excitement overload. Camille and Madelyn spent the rest of the evening dancing and running around in circles as we all waited for the fireworks. They did stop for a few minutes to eat homemade peach icecream, but that just gave them an extra boost of energy for more running and dancing.
Since Nick and Britton were stressed just thinking about leaving the park following the fireworks, they started devising their plan of escape to avoid as much traffic as possible. So, we ended up packing up all of our things and watching the fireworks from the back of Nick's truck to guarantee a quicker leave time :) Well, as it turned out, we had the best seats in the house!!! It was such a great view and Garner really outdid themselves this year with both the quality and quantity of the fireworks. Camille and Madelyn weren't bothered by the noise at all. Instead, they liked to scream out the colors as they appeared and comment on how much they liked each one! It was fun for us all!
And the best treat for the parents would be in how tired the girls were :) They not only went to bed without a peep, but they slept in later than ever!!
