First July 4th as a Family of 4

Happy 4th of July!

 
Tons of fun this 4th of July as a family of four. Last year I was super pregnant as we were watching fireworks as a family of 3 and this year little man was enjoying the fireworks with us. It was a couple of really late nights for the kids, but we were able to watch fireworks on the 3rd and the 4th, light some sparklers, have some ice cream, a picnic, and hang out with some good friends. Such fun! The rest of the weekend we plan to spend swimming and "being lazy", as Harlen says. Guess we've been keeping busy because every few days she will ask me if the next day we can just be lazy or have a lazy day. Her favorite thing is if I tell her she doesn't have to put clothes on for the day! lol. The little things. She loves her some play dates and adventures, but hanging out at home with brother and making a mess of their toys is lots of fun too.

Waiting for more fireworks the next night with her buddy Tucker.

While all the other cars and people piled out, we stayed put and the kids played soccer, football and got to play with sparklers. Must more fun than sitting in traffic.
