Fourth of July Fun

We had the best weekend!  It was full of good family time, swimming every day, fun with friends, and celebrating the 4th of July.

Trent got home about lunch time on Friday to start our long weekend!  We decided to go downtown that evening to the Aquarium.  We rode the shark train and the carousel, touched the sting rays, and ate a yummy dinner.

Ready for the train!

B loved the choo choo!


And the carousel!







The boys enjoyed some yummy dessert!

And of course he ate every single bite!


On Saturday morning we met the Valentine's for the Memorial Villages neighborhood parade.

Donuts, flags, and friends!

Waiting for it to start!

And it started with about 6 fire trucks!  The boys loved it!

And Graham said his favorite part was the band!

Us and the Valentine's

We went swimming right after the parade and then home for lunch and naps.  That evening went to some friends' house for more swimming and grilling out burgers!





One of my favorite church service of the year!  I love all of the patriotic music!

After lunch and naps it was time for more swimming!

And we ate dinner at the pool


Yummy brownie with red icing!

We got snow cones our way home!



Bennett missed the memo for red, white, and blue.  He was going for black and blue instead!
This happened on Saturday when he jumped onto Graham in the pool and they hit heads.  

We enjoyed a lazy morning at home after the boys slept late!  And then we went to our pool party for lunch and to swim!

More PB&J by the pool.  Life is good!

And now we are finishing our night watching the fireworks on TV live in NYC.
Happy July 4th!
