Our Fourth of July Weekend

Well our fourth of July was a lot of fun! The bummer part of it was Will had to work his 48 hour shift. I was able to go see him at the station Saturday morning because he forgot all of his work pants at home. (Will works every holiday this year including my birthday :( )

Well Melanie was really sweet and invited us over for a Barbq with her family. She made home made root beer. It was so Yummy!! (and I have never cared for Rootbeer and I now crave it) We had lots of yummy food .

When the kids got to wild at Melanies, her brother would hog tie them up. But of course Jose thought it was quite fun. Later that night we took the kids over to Thanks Giving Point to watch the Fireworks. We got a awesome spot. Although this year they were dragged out. Kids were even complaining they were bored.
Some of the fireworks were really pretty. We gave the kids glow necklaces and they played around with those until the show started.

And of course we had to play around like the kids.

Since it was so late we decided to do the roasting marshmellows the next day. We were not well prepared to start it. So we tried with what we had. "Come on baby, light up". UGH We both tried over and over....And then there was fire!! Woo hoo!! Kids were very happy. But then we made them wait until we could get some good flames going . Then they were'nt so happy. lol Woohoo Marshmellow Time! And of course the fire starters had to have some too!!

Well it was a good weekend. Wish Will could have been there. I guess they ended up having a watermelon eating contest with the cops. I would have loved to been a fly on the wall and seen that. We will have to get creative with our holidays this year. In a few days we will be leaving for our river rafting trip. And of course I will be posting some pics.
