4th of July

We had a great independence day. We kicked it off by eating a pancake breakfast at Josh's parents ward to support the boy scouts then off we went for a full day of swimming. Riley and Braden had a blast at aunt Vickie's pool and even max got in and splashed around-he's at the stage where he can splash and it normally splashes his own face haha
Afterward we went back to Josh's parents and bbq'd. All the kids played out front on scooters and I sat on a nice blanket in the grass and just enjoyed relaxing and watching them.
I wanted to start a new tradition this year of having a little parade for the the kids so we decorated scooters in red white and blue and when all the family got there they circled the Cul-de-sac all decked out!
Then we all made our traditional homemade icecreame -so fun and good.
The highlight of the night had to be sparklers!!!One of Josh's cousins brought a ton and it was a first for my kids-they were terrified but did about ten of them! They like it once they were holding them but scared to see that lit sparkler coming at them!
We all loved the u of r fireworks, max could care less, he looked at some but didn't seem to mind either way.
My kids sat with us for a bit but mostly wanted to sit in the back of the truck with all the other kids, when did they get so big?!
Happy 4th!
