Weekend of the 4th

We never made it to the fireworks. C4 had read about them in the sunday Mini-Pages, and was interested. We said maybe, sure, we'd try. So, Saturday afternoon we packed a picknic and headed to the pool, fully anticipating to come home, bathe, and head to fireworks.

But they couldn't handle the late night, and we had to put them to bed instead.

I told C4 that if she was up when we heard fireworks, I'd go outside with her to see if we could see any. But, there was no chance, she was asleep in 5 minutes.

Today, however, was a more exciting event. The National Capital Kennel Club, Inc. Dog Show.



Both girls slept late (Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!!), so we didn't get an early start (ahhhhh). But we got there in time to see a gazillion different dogs. We petted all the cute ones.

But the favorite ... the yellow lab puppies.



We spent 2.5 to 3 hours there. Then they'd had enough. Ready to go home. Which was fine by me. We all smelled like dog.
