4th Of July Weekend

FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND


We had a great Fourth of July weekend!  To start, Friday morning we met the Thompsons at Lucky peak for swimming.  The kids had a blast and it was nice to be near water on the 8th day of 100+ degree temps!

On the fourth, we headed over to Grandma and Papa's for Extreme Slip and Slide, BBQ and fireworks!  Bradley attempted to recreate Uncle Roberts 50 foot slip n slide from last year - only two injuries - blood drawn but bandaid fixable. 

 

 

Gavin was great all day and his usual easy self.... except for his outfit-changing-projectile-vomiting-on-mom-twice episodes... needless to say, both Gavin and I went through 3 outfits but he was a trooper as he must have not been feeling 100%

 The kids were excited for fireworks for days and days... this is what they were excited and waiting for.  To start the night out with some excitement, dad surprised all the kids and had his remote control gravedigger drive in front of everyone with an American flag out the back and attached smoke bombs - the kids loved it!  (Nerd Alert!)

  

 

Fireworks were a hit and the kids were lined up on the grass and running ALL OVER the place.  Our only close call was Ava twirling with a sparkler, getting dizzy and falling with the burning sparkler inches from her eye....

 

A fun day.... and some tired kiddos!
