4th of July

Our 4th of July holiday didn't start off too well. We had several days of fever (Kaitlynn) as well as several days of nonstop rain (Alex - the tropical storm). But luckily we recovered on both accounts and ended up having a very pleasant day today.

Here are my 4th of July cuties at home this morning.



We started the day at church where Connor participated in the Vacation Bible School wrap-up program. All the VBS kids got to sing a couple songs in front of the congregation - so cute! It was hard to get a clear picture of Connor because I only had my Iphone and he was jumping excitedly the entire time. He's in the front row in the striped polo shirt.



Here's a quick video of one of the songs they sang. As you can see, Connor really got into it! The songs were great and we've been singing them for weeks since this was the 2nd VBS we participated in this summer.



After church we stuck around to enjoy some lunch and activities for the holiday. They had inflatables and water balloons for the kiddos which was fun. Kaitlynn missed her morning nap (which seems to be happening a lot these days) so she was happily cuddling with Daddy one minute...



And not-so-happy-or-cuddly the next.



After a long afternoon nap/rest, our street threw another block party. We had tons of food, lots of swimming, and again we had the 20-foot water slide. It has been really fun getting to know our neighbors better.



As I sit here typing this post, fireworks are going off all around us. I have a feeling they'll be going off all night, so I'm just praying that Kaitlynn doesn't wake up too many times tonight. Happy 4th of July!
