what a weekend!

it was the July 4th weekend. We went to watch the fireworks which was held at the monument in D.C. Andrew couldn't be the least bothered about the fireworks, he was more interested in sucking his thumb and looking at the people around him. We also had some fireworks at my in-laws.50 bucks worth of fireworks which wasn't as spectacular as the one we saw but it was great entertainment for the kids.

The day before we went to the national shrine of our lady lourdes. Its about 2 hours drive from our place.I'm glad Andrew only cried bout 10 minutes and it was the end of the trip. We had Sunday mass there and had the priest bless us. It was a nice outing with the family not only did we pray, went to a fruit farm and i tried blackberries for the first time, i've tried raspberries and hated it so i thought it would taste the same. Blackberries are sour but really good. Andrew tried to pluck some apples. Overall it was a pretty good july 4th weekend.
