Fourth of July

We had a great holiday weekend full of family & friends! We did our biggest celebrating on Sunday afternoon when we went to a friends' house to play in the water. A bunch of families all went in together to rent 3 big blow-up slides/bounce houses for the kids. It was so much fun & the kids weren’t the only ones who enjoyed themselves!

Here’s my little Miss America before we left. She is really starting to look so grown up!

The first thing both kids did when we got there was run to see Aunt Brooke! They love their Aunt B!

Riley also loved this huge water gun.

Then on Monday we just stayed around the house & relaxed a bit. That night we watched fireworks that the neighbors were shooting off & shot a few our selves.

    What a beautiful family - love those kiddos! I second your motion for fall. Seeing all the school supplies & fall decor in the stores is getting me excited! :)

    Soo fun and as always the cutest pictures! Averly's hair is getting long and that bathing suit is SUPER adorable! That bounce house would have been a major hit around here!

    You are so right! I don't know what it is about that first picture but she's looking so much older.
