4th of July Weekend!

We love the 4th of July!  It's usually low key- hanging out, fireworks & eating good food.

 We did some parachutes at the park.

Then rode our bikes to our favorite spot to watch the firework show.  

 Before the fireworks my mom brought these awesome glowstick wands that were fun.

Ava was excited for this star hairdo.  And later this day "we" aka Matt grilled a feast that we enjoyed with the Huff's that I forgot to take pictures of but I do remember it was delicious.

 Then that weekend we got all packed up to camp at the river.  It was a pretty day and we got out there, set up camp, had some dinner and a rainstorm came in.  The rain was unexpected but it was fun hanging out in the shelter while it poured.  

 Before the rain my mom's tent looked pretty bad but after the rainstorm it was really bad but my mom is such an optimistic person she was still saying how it would work just fine.  Oh mother.  

 We had fun lighting some fireworks.

 It was hard work getting these snakes to go but grandma did it!

 Owen lighting a match.  Still a big deal although I don't think we had to talk him into it this time which was very exciting. 

 After the rain storm the lighting was beautiful!

Nice one Cat :).  

And even though I'd gone through all the work to pack up to go camping the forecast was more rain so we hung out till it was late and then headed home to our comfy beds.
