We spent 4th of July in Corning, like we always do. They have their annual parade and picnic (I'm not sure why they call it a picnic because nobody picnics, more like a carnival type thing) and we usually get together as a family to eat lunch. 4th of July is always packed until the fireworks at 10:00 pm. We are always wore out when the day is over. We start the morning with breakfast at his great aunt's house then sit in her front lawn and watch the parade. Cory usually dresses up as a president and walks in it with some other guys but there wasn't enough men so they didn't do it this year. Cory was very upset. I don't know why but he loves doing it!! It rained this year during the parade but they just kept going. Somebody said it hadn't rained during the parade since the late 70's.
Then we head over to his aunt's house to eat lunch with the family. Usually the food is really good and today was no different! Ribs, hamburgers, potato salad, baked beans, rolls, corn on the cob, asparagus, cheesecake, peach tart, grape salad, and on and on. Yummo!!!! We stuffed ourselves till we were sick. Every year, I tell ya, we do it every year.
After lunch Cory and I usually head out to the picnic to buy our truck tickets and see people. Cory was born and raised in Corning so he always sees people he hasn't seen for years, school friends, and family. After walking around the picnic we headed back to his aunts and watched movies. It was so nice to just sit and relax and hang out with the family. Now to wait for the fireworks. It's been a long day, but a good one.

Now I know how badly you want babies but let me tell you how jealous I was of this post!! You guys got to walk around and do whatever you want without having to find a babysitter or wait for a nap time or a feeding to be over. I'm tellin ya,I know you want it bad but there are some perks to being alone for now. Day trips like this can be stressful for us and fireworks are usually not the best part of the day because they are soo tired by then!
