Summertime at the Farm

Earlier this summer we made a trip up to the farm to celebrate great-Granddaddy's 90th birthday with the rest of the family. We all enjoyed a relaxing afternoon playing games, eating, and visiting. The boys loved exploring the farm and seeing the cows.

Fourth of July!

We love the Fourth of July! Every year our neighborhood has a parade that the kids love to participate in. We decorate their entries, which this year was a bike and a wagon. Alex was so very proud of how he decorated his bike, and Sam was pretty proud of the wagon he helped to decorate too. He added lots of tape!

Happy 4th!

Why should the kids get all the fun?

Alex and Sam with their cousin Ashley. So cute!

Ashley and Sam rode through the parade in the wagon.

At the end of a FULL day of many activities...going to sleep on the blanket while watching fireworks and holding their glowsticks. Great end to a great day.
