4th of July!

 Lucky Jeff got to work from home on Monday the 4th. Thank goodness we had swim lessons, then headed to McD's playland for 2 hours. We had plans to go to Sorensens, but they canceled and it was shaping up to be a lame holiday for us. I love the 4th and normally we celebrate in Idaho Falls, but the last couple years have been here. Last year was a blast, but for whatever reason, firework shows were held up to 2 days before the 4th......so we missed them. But I tried my best to make it a fun day even if Jeff had to work.

 so, we stuffed our little faces

 crammed in the play place for a photo op

 posed for more photos

 After playing there - I'd reached my limit on the noise and the food - it was time to go. Headed home for naps. Thankfully Angie called and said they were ready to party - yeah!!! Still Jeff had to work, so out on our own and very late in the evening, but we still swam, then ate outside until we were attacked by a bat and the kids were FREAKED OUT! me too, but I braved the outside to collect all our swim stuff. Jeff finally arrived around 10 and we made our way outside to play with fireworks.

 Abbey wanted nothing to do with this - notice she's not in the picture, she ran in the house before we even started.

 I finally convinced her to watch and watch she did. just like that - the whole time. haha! you'd think with how loud they(my kids, not the fireworks) are, that noise wouldn't bother them.

 SPARKLERS!

 

 Ammo not so sure

 

 What's a party without jumping over flames?!

 slightly smaller flames

 Jeff needed to get in on the 'blowing things up' party

'are we almost done?!'

Happy 4th of July!
