Week with Grandma and the 4th

While Todd and Roger attended a week at Woodbadge, Maddie and I were able to have a girls' week with with Jill.  What fun we had every day!  Several times we went for a morning walk and Madelyn loved playing at the park.
One of our favorite outings was the Dinosaur Park. Madelyn was scared of the dinosaurs that moved.  Every time we walked by, she would cover her face. 

 Then when we went outside to see the other dinosaurs, she loved running around and growling at them.
 Madelyn played on the swings, went down the slide, and made a very fierce dinosaur mask.  Then we stopped for lunch at the Rainbow Gardens to eat at the Greenery Restaurant.
 For the 4th of July, we went to the Riverdale parade with Adam and Alyssa's family.  It took a while, but by the end, Madelyn wanted to be out by the street chasing candy.

 We saw Jillyn walking in the parade with her dance group.
Afterwards, we ate lunch with Adam and Alyssa's family in their backyard. Maddie Jane got a little sparkly face tattoo and just loved it.  She liked playing on the airplane teeter-totter. 
At night, Madelyn crashed early, so Jill and I watched several firework shows from her front porch.  It was incredible to see fireworks every where you looked. We missed Todd and Roger, but still really enjoyed the 4th.
