4th of July Festivities

We had another whirl-wind weekend! We drove up to St. Joe Friday night, picked the kids up from my parent's house and headed to the Bahrs for a send off party for Eric's cousin, Jesse. He is joining the Army! We didn't stay too long because I was beat from a long work week. Saturday it was Zumba with Christie and Shanin! If you've never tried Zumba, I highly recommend it, it's addicting! Then we headed off to the pool at Moila. I hadn't been here since I was a kid, and it was so much fun being able to take the kids to where I grew up swimming. They did some remodeling last year to expand the pool to include a kiddie area. It was perfect with little fountains and water that was shallow enough they could just wade in.

Madison was trying out her new life jacket

She even got brave and went down the BIG slide!!!

Keakers was content to hang out on the side with Grandma and Mommy.

We took a snack break to dry off before heading for the car.

Saturday night it was party time at the Bernards!!! They were celebrating Joe's 50th birthday and the birth of their new grandson, Cova. That chunker is only two months old and bigger than Kealy!!! Here's a pic of Jesse with Kealy.

It was so good to see him and hang out at the their house. We hadn't been over there in a long time!!! Good memories!

Sunday - 4th of July - and rain ALL DAY LONG! We made the most of it though with a cookout for lunch with my parents and then headed over to Shanin's house to hang out.

We played some intense games of Yahtzee, and Michelle got her fix of holding Kealy! Get used to holding two babies Michelle! That could be you someday!!!

Christie playing bartender....

....Eric trying not to cry from cutting onions for his onion rings! He also managed to cut two of his fingers...not quite sure how that happened.

Me and Lars - he was the onion ring assistant

Madie, Eric, and Kaiden - watching Wall-E

One of the few fireworks we shot off in between rain showers

Probably the cutest little firecracker ever!
