4th of July

On 4th of July morning we called Brett, Erin, Ryan & Olivia (who from now on will be referred to as BERO, cause it takes to long to type out all of their names!) Anyway, we went for a 4-5 miles bike ride with BERO (much nicer). Then Erin had some things to do around the house so the rest of us went swimming. The kids all love swimming and it really tires them all out.

Some of our old neighbors were having a BBQ and fireworks & they invited BERO and told them to invite us too. We decided to have dinner with just us & BERO and then head over to the other neighbors. Their fireworks were great, but a little to close for comfort. So we went and Brett set off some small fireworks for the kids and we let them light sparklers. Then we sat in BERO's backyard and watched the neighbor's fireworks from a safe distance. We had a great day and even let the kids stay up until 10pm. But, you guessed it, Hudson was still in our bed at 6:45 am.
