4th of July...

We started out the day with a bang, hitting the Cherry Day's Parade with grandma and Aunt Leisel...

Marin and Jace take their candy grabbing very seriously, as do their cousins Ryan and Jay!

Macey loved hanging out with Ryan, since she shared ALL her candy with her!

Jace loves the rule you have to eat whatever popsicles you get right away!

Like I said, he really likes this rule!

Happy 4th of July!

Beautiful cousin Dakota (front pink dress) waving as she passed on her float! It was so fun to see Baylee and Regan in the parade as well!! Wished I'd had gotten pics!

Our crazy but loveable cousin Jay! He made the parade fun and entertaining!!

Then it was time for swimming at Aunt Leisel's. Our family loves this tradition.

The kids stay in the pool up until they are forced to get out for fireworks around 9:30pm!

We love adorable, fun cousin Havi...

The hot tub was also a big hit since it was a bit cold this year, I mean 70's rather than 90's! Teah, Ryan, Collin and Jay having a blast...

This girl was loving the food...

But then loved the hot tub, especially the jets!

Like I said, she LOVED the jets!

Thank you Leisel for letting us all come, crash your house and backyard for the afternoon. It rocks and is really one of the funnest family parties we look forward too all year long!

And thanks to Aunt Leisel, we had NO shortage of (illegal) fireworks!

Jacer is a HUGE fan of sparklers, look at this, two at a time!

Cutie patutie Teah...

And Havi, who seems to be in the middle of some great discovery!

Macey, FINALLY warming up to her family. Abby has wanted to hold this girl for so long, and finally she's able to with out a screaming, crying cousin on her lap!

We love Aunt Michelle who also finally got to hold a non screaming niece!

We love the 4th of July!
