Saturday was spent participating in the 2nd Annual neighborhood parade (Jack won a prize again for best decorated!!!), then lunch at the pool, naps, and then a party in the neighborhood that evening!
On Sunday, we headed over to the Coopers early in the morning to spend the day. It was SUCH a great time. It was nice to have the whole day to spend together without having a big schedule or a limited amount of time! The kids had such a great time in the pool. Jack loved going under water to have a tea party with Caroline! They would cheers under water! He also was trying to swim off the steps to me with his face under water. He is getting better and every time we are at the pool he wants to do more! He even jumped off the diving board! What a brave little man! All the kids took a big nap while we sat around talking about trips we had been on together and fun memories! Once everyone was up, we had ribs, burgers, hotdogs, watermelon and a special "Dirt" treat for dessert! Julie did a great job with the dirt and worms! :) It was lots of fun!
Brotherly love!
We headed back home around 8:00pm to attend the BIG neighborhoood party and fireworks. This is the first year that we planned to stay for the fireworks. Jack just couldnt stay awake the last couple of years to watch them. We put Lucy down at the neighbor's house so that she could go to sleep while we set up outside for the show. (I say a show...because it is an ALL OUT show. They truly have HUGE fireworks and really put a lot into it! I was OVERLY impressed) We weren't sure how Jack would react to the fireworks. We were really close to them and they were VERY loud. The first couple that went off DID scare him! He screamed, "That scares my ears!!!" We didnt think we would make it through the rest of them. BUT, Daddy covered his ears and he LOVED it. Whenever the guys headed back to light more, he insisted Daddy's hands go back over his ears to get ready! He did love them and clapped after each set. When they were over...he asked several times, "Why are they over?!"
First reaction to the fireworks
Clapping with Daddy
Having fun...but prepared to cover his ears just in case another goes off!
It really has been a fun weekend and lots of fun memories with the kids. Watching Lucy really crawl all over the place, seeing Jack get more and more comfortable with the water and do some "swimming", and seeing Jack watch his first fireworks show! Lots of fun memories...and of course lots of pictures!!!!
