4th of July Festivities

Saturday July 3rd, Allayna had gymnastics in the morning. She is making HUGE improvements. We got her a trampoline for at the house and she has been practicing her jumps and all the other things she's learning. She is just loving it! Her and Daddy go up to the park and practice her pull overs on the bars too. Anytime she can she is squeezing in a move here and there.

Later that afternoon we went over to the Mason's for a family cookout! It was a blast and the weather was perfect. The kids ran thru the Slip N Slide for a bit.
Allayna and Brennan...

And Carter and Allayna...

After the Slip N Slide came the squirt guns. Allayna and Brennan had a pretty awesome match. Brennan got smart and found a way to get a sneak attack on Allayna then hide again and not get hit back...one smart cookie!

And here they go face to face

Trent was watching from his front row seat in the Coupe

Then it was time to eat!

After dinner the kids wanted to go on a bike ride around the subdivision so Jen and I went on a walk with the kids while they rode their bikes.



After we got back from our walk/bike ride it was time for dessert!
Jen made awesome Red White and Blue Jello Stars...

Allayna and I made Dirt Cake cups

After the cookout we went with the Mason's to the Menomonee Falls 4th of July Parade
Here are the kids patiently waiting for the parade to start!

They loved the person on stilts

They wanted one of EVERYTHING even if it was an ad on a piece of paper. They had no idea what it was but it meant more they could put it their bag! They had a blast collecting everything they possibly could!

Gotta Love the Dancing Grannies...

Statue of Liberty

Allayna ran up and gave Scooby Do a big hug!

The little boats were squirting water at the kids!

Brennan busting out the dance moves

While waiting for the fireworks to start the kids got pretty goofy...
Getting set up...

Going Going....

Gone!

Then we broke out the sparklers. We couldn't get their next ones lit fast enough! They loved them!

The Finale

And all kiddos before it was time to head home

But of course not until they are silly just ONE more time!




We had such a great time! Everything turned out perfect. The kids have such a blast together. Its really neat to see them interact and play so well together. They didn't want to say bye and end the fun but as soon as we got Allayna into the car she was already starting to fall asleep then crashed hard after we got the car packed up and moving to head home. She slept real good that night and slept in pretty late the next morning!
