Summer Fun

Sorry its been so long since I posted! We had a great 4th of July! We went to a big BBQ at our good friends house, lots of kids, lots of food, and a great view of our town's fireworks display, right from their backyard. The kids ranging in age from toddlers to young teenagers played together, swimming, capture the flag, you name it, until the sun went down, and the fireworks started. It was the first time our kids have ever seen fireworks, since we've always had a baby who wouldn't appreciate the late hour or the noise. The looks on their faces was a look of total awe and joy. It was just a perfect summer moment, good friends gathered around the campfire, roasting marshmallows as the sun went down, then all of us gathered together, looking West as the fireworks began.

We also went to the zoo this weekend, which we haven't been to in years! It was a great day weather wise, temperature just right, and the kids had fun seeing all the animals. We've spent lots of time in our giant "baby pool", and lots of time at the park. This weekend, we're going camping for the first time as family! Hopefully, everyone will take to the great outdoors and we'll have a great time! I'll have pictures and a full report coming up next week!

Meanwhile, enjoy these...
