4th of July

Our 4th of July was low key.  We spent most of our time with family, outside, then inside dodging the random down pours, then outside again.  Emmy loved being with her cousins so much.  Any time the cousins are in town, all the kids get to stay up late, eat a bunch of junk food, and play whatever they want.  There is no schedule, just togetherness.

On the 4th, the kids swam and played on the slip n slide, captured itty bitty frogs, had a picnic on the top of the play set for lunch, and played with sparklers before the dads put on a fireworks show.

 

On the 5th, there was more of the same, except for more rain which meant playing in puddles.

 

After supper, we had ice cream on the dock while we watched the daddies fish unsuccessfully.

 

The kids always love being together and play so well with each other.  Next time we see the cousins, we will be a family of four!
