First Trip To Houston/4th of July

7/8/2015

We were a little nervous about how Hadley would handle riding in the car seat for four hours straight as we attempted our first road trip to Houston. We decided to time our journey to coincide with her bed time, leaving Dallas around 8pm. She slept the ENTIRE time! Such a little angel! :)

She must have known that she would need her energy, because the next day we took her for her very first swim at GiGi and Pops' pool!

Our little mermaid did such a good job in the pool that we let her take the plunge again the next day, too!

Can you tell that she hated it!? ;) She's always been a big fan of floating around in the bathtub, so I knew being in a larger body of water wouldn't phase her. I just didn't know if she'd be into the cooler water temperature, but it didn't seem to bother her one bit. Of course, we kept her time in the pool limited so that she wouldn't get too cold!

After a few days of swim practice it was time for the main event -  Fourth of July! Which to Mommy means - Red, White, and Blue Dress Up Day! :)

We had several good friends come and join in on the fun, including Lauren & Justin and Liz, Jeff, & Benjamin!

Later that evening, we headed to the streets for a "professional" fireworks display conducted by Mason, our in-house pyrotechnic expert! ;)

It actually, wasn't a half bad show. Too bad Miss Hadley decided that she'd rather catch up on her beauty sleep with Pops, who was happy to join her.

After celebrating the Fourth, we spent our remaining days in Houston introducing Hadley to a few more friends, taking Mommy & Me (and Daddy & Me) matching photo shoots, and lounging by the pool!

Hadley had a fabulous time on her first trip to Houston! Oh... and our sweet baby slept the entire way home to Dallas, as well - in broad daylight! :) She's the BEST BABY EVER! :) 

Here are a few videos of Hadley's first swim experiences:
