We had a great 4th of July this year. Andrew's family was all up in Montana and we were sad we couldn't go but with only two weeks of work under his belt there was no way to ask for time off :). We had a really great day despite the heat! We started off with our ward breakfast and bike parade. It was nice to not have to make breakfast and the food was really good!
After we went and bought some fireworks and went and to the grocery store to get our food assignments for later. We went home and the kids napped and then we went to my Aunt and Uncles house. We had a Blackburn family reunion which is my Grandma's family so all of her siblings and families. It was a lot of fun and good to catch up with them. We usually get together twice a year and we have missed the last few get togethers. We enjoyed eating and the kids had a lot of fun playing.
Ella and Hannah! We are glad they have each other with all the boys around. They really wish Jocelyn lived closer, some day we hope!
My Aunt and cousins set up a lot of fun things for the kids to do, here they are doing a three legged race.
The boys playing games.
They put together this fun craft with paints and sponges where the kids made a picture of the flag. My kids really loved this and we came home with quite a few pictures!
They played a fun pass the wet sponge game, painted fingernails, my grandma and her sister played a fun game with the girls, and they had a fun parade for the kids with flags!
I just love this picture!
My cousins from the Gray family and my sisters (minus Sarah and Celyn).
These three are six weeks apart about and each have turned 16 this summer! Joseph was visiting his mom for the month from Atlanta!
We had some homemade ice cream and lots of cookies and brownies later in the day and then we eventually went to the school behind their house and did some parachutes and snaps. The kids loved those! When it got a little more dark we did some fireworks and Ella determined she hates little ones they are to scary but those big fireworks shows she loves! Go figure!
