4th of July

As the kids get older, the holidays get more fun. They had a great 4th. We started the day by going to the Parade downtown (I forgot the camera). Carson and Madelyn got a load of candy thrown at them. They loved it. We then spent the rest of the day with our neighbors Mike, Michelle and their daughter Paige. Carson and Paige have been friends for a long time and had a great time letting off fireworks.

Cooling off with Friends

Carson and Madelyn got to spend an afternoon cooling off in Nate and Ian's backyard this week. They had a great time playing in the water and spending time with all their friends. Collin and Lauren joined in on the Slip and Slidin' good time.

PUMP IT UP Jr.

We spent the morning this morning at "Pump It Up Jr." a great new place for kids to play and run around sliding and jumping around on inflatables and ride around in Cozy Coupes!! Carson and Madelyn had a great time. It is a perfect place to run off their energy and get some exercise. Carson ran into one of his friends from his soccer class, Noah, and they were able to play together. It was a weird coincidence that they were both wearing soccer shirts...hmmm


Time to go for a little drive
This is fun!!!
Demolition Derby time
