4th of July

A few days before the 4th Scott's mom and 4 sisters arrived at our house. Ian came down for the weekend and Keegan and Jessi stopped by for the day. It was fun to have so much family in town to celebrate the holiday with us!! We started out the day with the parade (thanks to the Brockbanks for saving a great spot). The kids had a blast getting all the candy and goodies!! Then we headed back to the house for a BBQ which included a slip-n-slide, squirt gun fight and goofy golf. After that we went over to find a spot for the fire works. While we waited we walked around the river, played games and well chased kids around:) The boys were way excited for the fireworks and loved every second of the show. I think everything is more fun with kids, just seeing how excited they get over the little things makes it all worth it!

On Saturday we drove down to Ross Park for the day. My boys both just love the water, they both have no fear (which scares me). In the big pool Connor only wanted to jump in when there wasn't anyone to catch him. And in the kiddi pool he would crawl and splash around like Kaiden. In the deepest part his head would be completly under the water, so we had to swoop in and rescue him. Kaiden is becoming quite the little swimmer, only problem is he doesn't get how to put his head up to get a breath. He just swims completly under the water, slowly sinking till we grab him. I plan on putting him in swimming lessons next month so hopefully that helps. Anyway, here are some pictures from our fun weekend!!
