Fourth of July Weekend "Expectacular"!

What a weekend..and it is only Saturday. Our weekend has been jammed full. In Phoenix, it wouldn't be the 4th of July without some swimming. So, we took Gracie swimming in our pool. Very nice and cool. She loves to jump off the steps.

She and Reagan took their naps and it was time for the next round. The girls were all dressed for the 4th. (somehow we never got a picture of Reagan, but they had matching dresses!)

And we were off again to Nana and Papa's House. It was a wonderful 4th with all the fixings. We had corn on the cob, watermelon, potatoes, coleslaw, chicken, beef, and pork, and three different desserts. It was wonderful. The kids all ran around while the adults watched baseball and chatted. Fun and smiles all around.




We had so much fun...we invited ourselves over for another day of fun. This time, we ended up in the pool. Braden and Gracie had a great time. Braden played ball with Papa and Tim, while Gracie floated in a little crab/lobster with Auntie Hayley. Fun, sun and more food. Thank you family for making it a wonderful weekend. Thanks mom for all your hard work!
