The kids are healed...yeah! So we headed to Uncle Sean & Aunt Cosima's on Thursday afternoon so they could play with Will & Calla and I could help Cosima with some decorating. We stayed 2 nights and came home last night after dinner. Of course the kids were bathed and ready for bed but didn't sleep the whole way home....so much for that plan! We stopped at Kings Island when we got back into town at 10 and watched the fireworks. Luckily everyone slept past 8 this morning!
We tried to go to the 4th of July parade in Bloomington Friday but after we got there, got all the kids a few blocks from the van, it became a downpour and we all got soaked! After standing under a sheltered area soaking wet for about 45 minutes and the rain not letting up, we sent Trevor and Sean to get the vans! We went back and everyone had to change clothes and we just hung out and played. Later Sean cooked out burgers and hot dogs. After our fireworks with the kids we tried out Sean's new firepit with s'mores! Yummy! It was a fun relaxing weekend...plus I set a new record on the Wii with a 810 in skee ball and knocked Sean off the list! lol
Today we took the kids down to the pool to swim. After lunch it was napping time...then we did dinner and church tonight. Love the Sunday night masses...great music!
Hope you all had a safe and happy 4th.
Andrew & Aaron, the twin neighbor boys behind us who are the same age as Ben and Rachel are moving to Virginia and they had a going away party down at the neighborhood pool last night. The top picture was from the party. They all had so much fun. They play together almost daily so I am not sure what they are going to do without them. Rachel says, "Now I know what it felt like for my friends when we moved from Arkansas!" Ben is already planning for them to visit!
This one was taken out front when the four of them were playing the other day.
