4th of July

We had a great time celebrating the 4th of July!  We started our celebrating off on Sunday night at our church, Cross Church.  Every year they have Fireworks at the Crosses and its always a spectacular show set to music and very patriotic.  They do a wonderful job of remembering all those, past and present, who have served in our military.  It's a special night and we love being there for it.  We sat with our friends from our small group and all the kids had a great time running around, playing with bubbles and dancing.  The dancing had us all laughing so hard especially when Carter taught everyone how to do the "robot".  Oh my.  It was a fun night!  Mimi and Papa were even able to join us.  We grilled hamburgers and hotdogs before we went to the fireworks show at church.  An All American Day!

Josh kinda has a crazy look here. :-)

Aubrie and Carter are just ready for it all to start!

 On the actual 4th of July, we celebrated at a cookout with our neighbors and had a great time hanging out and watching all the kiddos play.  There was so much food and fun for the kids.  They played tennis, played in the sprinkler and in the kiddie pool.
We then headed over to the Ferguson's for a party in the driveway.  The kids played in the sprinkler, threw water balloons, played basketball, rode bikes/scooters, and had a great time.  I think they were all wore out by the end of the night.  We also enjoyed some yummy homemade ice cream!  We had some small fireworks that we were able to do in the safety of the street due to a burn ban.  Just some fountains, smoke balls and sparklers this year.  

Sweet friends.....Collin, Gabby, Aubrie & Carter (Lily and Peter didn't make it in this pic)
