Aaaand the rest of July!

The minute we got back from Ocean Shores we ate dinner (treated the kids to Panda Express for the first time) and headed over to Celeste's house for some late 4th of July (or Pioneer Day) sparklers. Celeste had some of her in-laws in town so there were lots of kids and lots of people, which makes it lots more fun!

Bryce, Maddy, Jack, Cole (with part of Isaac behind him) and Olivia watching the start of the sparklers.

Sparklers make me super nervous but Jack was really good at keeping it away from himself and others :)

Madelynn did not like the sparklers and had Nana and Papa protect her.

We also went to the spray park as much as possible. The kids are so weird here, they beg and beg to go to the spray park that is 20 minutes awa and then spend most of their time at the regular playground just like one that is right next to our house! But if it's hot enough, they'll stay in the water for a while.

Liv and Madelynn.

Love this- Bryce, Jack and Cole were all in a line stepping on the holes that spray water. It was cute!

This little lady liked the water as long as it didn't get her eyes.

I love Jack's face in this picture. He loves running through all the water. Which is funny, because he hates showers. A lot.

Cutie Jake! Jacob did a good job sitting in the shade and eating the leftovers of everyone else's lunches.

We also got to go to Chuck E Cheese's with the cousins. My kids will pretty much do anything to go to Chuck E Cheese's. I don't mind the games, hate the food though. And I keep a sharp eye on my kids! The parent (and social worker) in me won't let them out of my sight!

Good to know all four of my kids like the games :)

We even met people in our new ward who like us enough to invite us to the clubhouse field for a game of kick ball. My kids loved it. I played photographer though, I am not a kickball kinda person. And I had to leave halfway through and get dinner out of the oven!

It was kids vs adults! Jack did awesome!

Olivia did great too, making it to base (with our friend Kristin who may or may not have missed balls on purpose)

Jack made it to base too. He was pretty proud of himself!

Madelynn got some help from Daddy and got to run the bases.

Pretty serious, that game of kickball.
