Fourth of July!

I am a little late in posting these but here are the pics from the Fourth of July. We attended Chris's extended family reunion which is usually held on Chris's Grandpa's property so we didn't have to go far. The kids love getting to play with new cousins they have never met or seen much and the adults enjoyed getting to visit, play games and eat yummy food. After dinner we walked back to our house and watched the fireworks from our back yard....the city fireworks are let off just down the street from our house so we had an amazing view! How AWESOME is THAT?! The kids had been playing hard all day so they actually slept through about half of them. :( Here are some pics of our fun day!


Chris's grandparents have a big beautiful yard that is just heaven for the little kids...there is volleyball, tether ball, and 3 different playground areas with different swing sets, slides, tree swings, and sand piles. Plus a whole lot of grass to run around in. Plus don't forget the train rides!

Allison and Abigail were so tired from playing all day that they fell asleep riding the train together. I just love this pic!

Chris's family always has home-made root beer at Family Reunions!

Back at the house, we were able to wash up the babies and put them in their pajamas while waiting for the fireworks to begin! Did I mention how awesome it is that the fireworks are let off down the street from our house so we have front row seats without all the traffic and crowds!! My sister made this beautiful Fourth of July celebration cake!
