4th of July - LOTS OF PICS

Finally some pics from the 4th...I know you were all holding your breath in anticipation!

Gigi and Pops got here Friday night and we had tons of fun!!! The boys got bedtime stories.

Gigi read to Carter,

while Pops read to Caden.

Saturday morning we played around the house for a few hours. We started by playing dress up...

Carter the construction worker

Caden the "red" knight

They made Pops play too...doesn't he look thrilled!?!?!

Carter got his "white" knight on too. Cole thought it was so funny!

We got to the park and had some lunch first. Hot dogs, chips, pop...what a great way to start the holiday!

Cole snacking

After lunch we played for a while...Cole loves to swing :)

Gigi and Pops decided to take the older boys for a walk

Then on the pedal boats across the lake. So much fun, but Pops was the only peddler...his legs were sore :)

After playing in the park for a while, we headed over to the new water park for some fun in the sun! Wonderful Ed got us all bracelets to get in to the water park for free from 1pm-3pm. We stayed almost the entire time and had so much fun. Even Gigi and Pops got in the water! It was so great and we can't wait to go back more this summer!

Caden loved the water park! He was swimming everywhere!
Carter was starting to get tired after an hour or so, he was clinging to Cory as much as possible.

Cole had enough of the water park after an hour or so and just hung out in his stoller with his juice!

We ended the evening by getting just a few fireworks for the boys. Just some smoke bombs and sparklers. They enjoyed it and didn't really think much that we only spent $10 and it didn't last very long!
