4th of July

Our 4th of July celebration started off the week before with making these cool shirts that our cousin Jess had told us about--the kids had a blast--sharpie markers and a medicine dropper with rubbing alcohol!  My shirt is above, Caden's below, and Brynn's at the bottom!



The weekend before the 4th we headed to the Parry Farm for their annual party--kids enjoyed poppers and sparklers, great food, a big rainstorm that came through surprised all of us, but there was still time for a great firework show--and then close to midnight, the electricity went off for about an hour--always some excitement on the farm!

Popper time!

Watching cousin Jamie do fireworks.


Sparkler time!

One of my favorite pictures--love the smiles--Happy 4th of July from Caden and Brynn :)

We had our church group and parents over for the 4th of July--Terri and Craig surprised the kids by coming in the afternoon and taking them to the movie Brave.  When they got back--Grandpa on the farm pretended to be asleep so the princess could kiss him and wake him up--they love this game!


We ate some great food and then the kids dove into the slip n slide!

The grandparent, mom and I enjoying the water entertainment!



Time for some fireworks!

We love the Leonard Family--between Layne and Rustin--we had some good entertainment!


Brothers!


Brynn paraded around in her swimsuit most of the evening--bringing people pretend food and drinks--she has quite the imagination!


Sydni would dump all her poppers out of the box and do a little dance to pop them--loved it!


One more round of sparklers!


Hope you all had a happy and safe 4th of July--we did!
