Fifth of July Party

Mom & Dad had a party on July 5th this year. It was a fun time! It was great to have the afternoon to just relax and hang out. Jon had to work again, so we missed him. But Chloe actually slept more than she was awake so it made it a little easier.


I walked to the other side of the pond and took this picture of everyone just hanging out. Nobody was swimming at this point, but I thought it was cool how there were people everywhere.


The kids were very in to making sand castles & waterfalls. All of the boys were busy with Keegan & Wyatt making a huge one so Hannah decided to make her own. I gotta love Jacob because he came and helped her out. It's a good thing that we had such caring "Security".


At night we had a bon fire and fireworks. Here are Taylor & Hannah singing campfire songs. They tend to be stuck together. We also celebrated Taylor's birthday with a pinata & cake. It was Keegan's birthday too, and he broke the pinata wide open for the kids. Teenage cousins are sooooooo coooooooool to those little boys.


We enjoyed some smores. Tyler was drawn to the fire. Wyatt here is a favorite with the boys. He is a friend of Keegan's from Iowa. I am amazed at how those 2 older boys play with those kids. Wyatt is almost 15 and he was down in the sand with a bunch of kids that he didn't even know without any complaints. Although I'm hearing some stories about stopping in the woods on the 4 wheeler rides...


When we got home Sunday night Hannah just layed down on my bedroom floor and went to sleep. The lights were on, everyone else was moving around and being loud getting ready for bed. Adn there she slept. Chloe was even beating her in the head with a toothbrush. It was the end of a very long weekend.
