4th of July Fun

We spent July 4th weekend at Mimi and PopPop's in Haslet. Their little town had a parade and a fireworks display on the 3rd. Kamryn, Kate, and Maggie (and mommy and PopPop) walked and/or rode in the parade after we had decorated our bike, scooter, and wagon. We all had such a fun time until Kate got tangled up in the wagon and fell...not so fun after that but luckily we were nearing the end! That evening we could see the fireworks from Mimi and PopPop's driveway and since Kate isn't a huge fan, that was plenty close. She spent the 30 minutes pretty much the exact same way she watched them last year, holding her hands over her ears. That funny girl...the next morning she couldn't quit talking about them and told us that she was "excited for the fireworks that night!" Whatever!







Right after the fall, running to daddy and Mimi!

A new and fun addition to Mimi and PopPop's house is their swimming pool. It was finished the day before we got there and the girls had a ball...and Lucy joined in on the fun. It was the first thing we talked about each morning and the last thing we talked about before going to bed. Needless to say, we were in our swimsuits alot!

Fearless!

A night swim in her diaper!

After Ryan and the dogs drove home on Monday and I flew home on Wednesday, the girls were lucky enough to get to stay and play for the weekend. From our phone conversations, they are having a blast swimming, playing with Kamryn and Elizabeth, and watching movies, oh and maybe eating some ice cream! And Ryan and I are enjoying a quiet house...until Sunday anyway!!
