Independence Day Weekend

We had a great weekend celebrating our nation's birthday!  It was packed full with activities (as usual).  On Saturday we made the haul up to Woodstock to see Norm and Karen.  They have an awesome neighborhood pool equipped with a 1 foot kiddie pool with mushroom waterfall and a huge water slide.  Aiden loved the kiddie pool and all the squirting fountains- he and Norm had a little water fight with one of them.  Ty enjoyed snacking in the shade as usual.  Aiden and Dadda rode the slide a few times- Aiden was nervous but excited at the same time.  We enjoyed lots of good food back at the house and the guys played cornhole.  The kids were asleep before we were out of the neighborhood.

We went to a pool party with my brother and his family to celebrate the holiday on Sunday.  The boys both witnessed fireworks for the first time and they both loved it!  Aiden said "whoa" after each one and Ty sat in my lap and stared up at the sky- 5 minutes later he was bored and ready to get up and play again, but he was impressed for a moment.

Holiday weekends are always nice and I appreciate the time we have as a family to make memories like these.
