24th of July Fun

We had a fun day on the 24th. We didn't get to do anything on the 4th as a family cuz Scott was working. And we couldn't do too much on the 24th because I was still recovering from surgery, but we managed to celebrate anyway and the kids enjoyed it!

We started with sprinklers on the lawn and trampoline.

Scott was blowing up the big sprinkler ball, but it was slow going!

I got his attention, and he let me take a photo.

Matt came in early, he's not big on the sprinklers. He wanted to play with his "woo-woo's"

Shortly after Matt came in they girls came in too.

I was making cards, so the kids wanted to do crafts too!

Our 3 little artists!

One of the girls took a photo of me, making cards

And one of Scott and I enjoying our time together

We made home made ice cream

Kayla helped with the salt and ice layers

We bought sparklers, and some fireworks. Our neighbors did too so we all got together to watch our fireworks.

The kids were so cute in their chairs!

Matt got to play with his first sparkler (video of it is at the bottom)

The girls got to have some too

Matt decided he'd had enough of the sparklers, and wanted to come hang with Mommy.

The fire works!!!!

After the fireworks, we enjoyed the home made peach ice cream we made.

MMMMM ICE CREAM

It was so creamy Kayla had a mustache!

The kids told scary stories with the flash lights

This is Matt trying to light up his face like kayla did!

And this is Alyssa's version of it!

Matt playing with his first sparkler...he wasn't so sure what to do with it. SO CUTE!
