Our 4th of July (eeks, that was over a month ago!) was full of low-key fun. Andrew, John, Bryan, and Tim all played a lot of soccer in the yard with Andrew’s new soccer goal and ball.
There was some fancy footwork going on out there!
It was Boys against Dads, and those boys were really hustling.
Meanwhile the moms were engaged in other 4th of July pursuits..
After soccer, it was time for some water play. Slip and Slide!
Tim cools off:)
Now the boys are holding onto water balloons. These water balloons have the unique ability to not pop when thrown at a person. They only seem to pop when they hit the earth. Makes for interesting, bouncy game of water balloons!
Kids in the tree. This is the little volunteer maple that’s starting to become a substantial tree!
Dinner on the picnic table.
For dessert, Red, White, and Blue (with hot fudge and sprinkles).
Yummy, yum, yum.
After a long day, Tim reads the kids a bedtime story.
I like how they’re all snuggled up together:)
After the kids were in bed, Grace, and Tim and Bryan went to Monona to watch the fireworks. I stayed home and photographed sparklers.
I put the camera on a tripod and ran about the yard…
Hope your July was a good one!
Althea, I just love the idea of you running around your yard with sparklers. Your posts just warm my heart; you’re the best!
Did you stand on the couch to get that overhead shot of storytime? And I agree with Becky, I love that you photographed yourself running around with sparklers!
