The 4th

We had a nice and relaxing 4th of July weekend, which is what we needed after the busy June we had. We started the weekend off with a bonfire Thursday night, and then on Friday Chad, Christy, Alex and Becca came up for a visit. The kids had fun playing all day (the F150, and 4-wheeler were the popular toys). They played in the pool, and sandbox, and were pretty tuckered out by the time they went to bed. Everyone (except Jenna) stayed up for fireworks, although Becca somehow managed to fall asleep while we were watching the neighborhood fireworks. We had S'mores with chocolate marshmallows which were really good (thanks for the suggestion Chad & Christy!), plus they are good to eat plain too, just ask Andrew & Becca.
Saturday and Sunday we ran errands, hung out at home, and just enjoyed not having to be anywhere or do anything. We were planning on taking the boat out on Sunday, but didn't end up getting out. We are hoping to take it out either one night this week, or next weekend.

Jenna's been working on walking, and will go 5-10 steps on her own before deciding that crawling is quicker....Andrew and the neighbor boys have been trying to encourage her to walk, which is really cute to see.
I hope that everyone had a good 4th of July weekend. Here are some pics from ours:
