4th of July!

We spent the 4th as we always do…at the farm! There were cousins and swimming and fireworks and good food…all the ingredients for a perfect holiday weekend!

4th9

Grandma was prepared for the 100 degree weather with a new pool and slip and slide! The kids had so much fun on this thing!

4th

Peanut just ran back and forth on it and sometimes plopped to her knees at the end. :)

4th1

I wish I had gotten a video of Waylon and his boy cousin on the other side (Waylon has exactly 4 girl cousins and 1 boy cousin on both sides!) diving into this pool. It was hilarious.

4th3

The guys spent nearly every waking minute working on the boat.

4th2

Auntie Nae had several crafts for the kids, including making paper dolls! They loved it!

4th4

Uncle Wade taught the kids the find art of “Poppers”. They loved that too! :)

4th5

One of the highlights was frosting sugar cookies. They were so excited!

4th6

The finished product…

4th7

The little ones loved to play in the boat while the guys were working. T went to move it out of the sun for them and they were sitting in the front seat. As soon as they started moving Boo gasped, “Mommy! Does this have airbags??” Haha :)

4th8

Not sure what K was telling Baby M here, but she looks a little disconcerted. Haha :)

4th10

We had the big annual BBQ with family and friends and with all the traditional foods and desserts. Peanut enjoyed the Hello Dolly’s this year!

4th11

T took this picture and it made me laugh!

4th12

The kids ran around playing games on the lawn while waiting for the sun to go down.

4th13

We started off with some sparklers.

We have had so little rain and the fire danger is so high that we kept them small this year, but the kids still enjoyed them.

4th18

And we ended the day with a bang, as every 4th of July should.

4th19

Hope you had a safe and happy 4th!
