Fourth of July

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July! We had a nice quiet day at our house. It has been pretty hot around here so we decided to stay home to celebrate. We invited the grandparents over for hot dogs and hamburgers, everything was delicious! Grammy brought cupcakes, the kind with lots of dye in them so that the kids' mouths turn colors! Of course they LOVED them. Connor has a major sweet tooth, he didn't eat much dinner but then pounded down a giant chocolate cupcake. Here they are enjoying a special 4th of July treat.

Here is Connor licking his fingers!

On Saturday Daryle took Travis to a basketball game. After the game there was a fireworks display so they watched the show from the parking garage roof! Daryle got an ok picture with some of the fireworks going off.
After all the grandparents left we packed up the kids in the car armed with our lawn chairs. We drove over to a local school parking lot and were able to watch a good show. Connor seemed to enjoy the fireworks but he was getting tired so all he really wanted to do was go home and get to sleep! For the most part he sat on my lap as we all "ooohed" and "ahhed" over the fireworks. Since last year he fell asleep before any fireworks went off this was his first time staying up for a show. Overall I think he liked them and he is anxious to see more in years to come!
