Fourth of July Weekend

Wow! We had such a fun, busy weekend that I have to say I am glad that today is so crummy outside. It gives us a reason to hang low at home and rest - I know the kids could definitely use it. Our weekend started Thursday night - we were able to see friends of ours who were in town from Georgia over at Wayne and Missy's house. Mike and Heather were in town with their two adorable boys. We had a great time catching up since we haven't seen them since our wedding.
Friday on the fourth we spent the whole day with my family. We went to the Kentwood Parade. Myah absolutely loved it. She had so much fun catching candy and watching everyone in the parade. Her favorite by far were the horses. :) Here are a couple pictures from the parade:

We spent the whole day at Mom and Dad's swimming and grilling out. Kentwood also has a little carnival up by the city center so we walked up to that and Myah was able to ride a couple ponies, ride a swing, jump in an air tent and play lots of games. Then at night we watched the Kentwood fireworks which by the way were fabulous!! We watch them every year but this year they out did themselves.

Myah was SUCH a water bug - she couldn't get enough of the water. She jumped off the diving board and went down the slide a bunch of times. Kohen loved it as well - it was the perfect temperature for him to just float around in his bug.

Then on Saturday we went up to Newago to spend the day with our friends who have a trailer in a resort up there. It's a small world because we figured out a couple years ago that they spend much of their summer in the same park as my grandparents have for years. So...we were able to see my grandparents as well. We had a great time and again, Myah wouldn't get out of the water. She loved it.

Phew!! We just spent Sunday with church and then at my parents for the rest of the day for more swimming and relaxing. I think we've had enough pictures of water though. :) We hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July!! We sure did!
