4th of July!

What an awesome weekend. Tad was off for 4 days and so was I! We spent the entire 4 days together just the 4 of us, and that was rare. Usually we spend the time with his family or my family, but this year, because of our puppy being so young, we had to stay at home. We missed or extended family, but we'll see them again soon! :-)

The night before, we made star necklaces. The morning of the 4th, we went to the Forest Lake parade. The kids really liked it and we found a spot in the shade and it was perfect. We then came home and Noel, Johnny and Joey came over to swim. We had so much fun in the sun!

We had hamburgers on the grill, and later we went to a carnival, then came home and lit some fireworks in our driveway. The girls loved the sparklers! I held Kysa tight as she was pretty scared with all the firecrackers. We then watched all the local city fireworks from our bedroom window...free from mosquitoes and traffic jams!!

The next day we basically swam all day. We went to the Stone's pool party and stayed pretty late. The kids were exhausted and we skipped church on Sunday morning. Sunday we took it easy, both outside in the hot sun and inside in the cool air conditioning.

It was a fabulous weekend and here are some photos.
