What a nice holiday July 4th is-

If Matthew had a favorite, the 4th of July would probably be it. When we were talking about what we wanted to do for the weekend Matthew said he didn't care as long as he got to grill some meat and watch some fireworks. With the 4th being on Sunday it actually turned into a whole party weekend! I didn't do a good job getting many pictures but Friday night we enjoyed some good grilled hamburgers at the Huff's. With Isaac being so little we didn't get to enjoy a quick bike ride to our prime firework watching spot but instead drove up above our house to a spot that was pretty awesome too.

This girl was a big fan of . . . , well, pretty much anything around her and luckily with her encouragement I was able to take a few pictures of the excitement :).

We love fireworks.

On Saturday we had a yummy brunch. Then Isaac, Ava & I got to enjoy a nice nap. That night Matthew bought a few cuts of different meats and he grilled them up for a fun, yummy dinner.

The kids got to play and play. Of course when it was time to go Owen didn't want to and said that he didn't even get to play very long even though it had actually been all day!

On Monday we were able to clean up our house a bit then we headed to the river that afternoon. It was a nice day and the kids of course had a blast!

This was Isaac's first trip to the river

He was pretty relaxed about it.

Fireworks!
