Fourth of July 2009

This year for Fourth of July my parents decided to have a pool party since this year was the first full summer with the new pool installed. It was also nice to have some family in town this year! The week before the 4th my aunt and cousin came to visit us for a few days and we basically hung out and relaxed with each other. We did make a trip to The Science Center to see A Dinosaur Named Sue, which Emaline really liked! She liked digging for fossils the best. Then the week of the 4th, my sister and her daughter came to stay with us for a week. It was so great to see everyone and have them meet Piper in the flesh. We swam, ate and relaxed over and over again! The day of the party we all jumped in the pool...although it was pretty gloomy and it did rain on us a little bit. I hope that everyone that came over still had a good time! After everyone left, we snacked on some leftovers and decided to go see the fireworks display at Chesterfield Mall. I think its funny when kids get so excited to see something, they build it all up and when they do see it they aren't that impressed with it. Well, that happened with Emaline and we got to see about 3/4 of the show when we decided it would be best to get the kids home and to bed. It was a very long day...with no naps! Thankfully, no one was too cranky and passed out when we got home. Josh had to work yet again, so no fun fireworks for him...maybe next year!
