Friends, Food and Fireworks

We had a great 4th! Some friends came in from Dallas and it was wonderful getting to see and visit with them. They have a 6 year old boy, a 4 year old girl and a new baby. This was the first time we got to meet little Abbie and she is a cutie! The kids swam and played on Thursday. On Friday, we went to the parade in town and the kids had a blast filling their sacks full of candy. The street fair after the parade had a rock climbing wall. Jacob made it to the top easily several times and Riley made it almost to the top. Last night, we grilled and watched fire works. The most fun last night was watching the kids play with light necklaces. (The kind you bend in half and then they glow for several hours.) While waiting for the fireworks to begin, Jacob, Riley and our little visitors played in the dark with the necklaces. They played frisbee and twirled them around looking at the colors. After fireworks, we topped off the day with homemade ice cream. Big surprise. Kyle loved the ice cream! We had a great 4th and hated to see our friends leave this morning.

Kyle was trying to figure out how to get her pacifier.

Kyle could not take all the excitement!


It is so hard to get three boys to look and smile at a camera at the same time!
