Trampoline Fun

Both big and little kids had fun on the playground

We had a great 4th /3rd of July. We had the whole Briggs family over for a fun BBQ. We did the same thing last year, so I guess it is now a tradition. The kids all loved the new backyard with the big playground and trampoline. We did a few "daytime" fireworks and the kids thought it was great! It was nice to have the family over and have all of the cousins playing together. Since two of my sisters live in Alaska it was a rare thing to have everyone together. I am so thankful that we live in a great Nation and have the freedoms that we have.

4th of July

Better late than never - right? We had a great 4th of July. We had my family and John's family over for a BBQ. Then the kids played on the slip 'n slide. Ella kept on going up to the water, getting a tiny bit wet, then running away. We had a great time. Later that night John had to go to work. I put the twins to bed and was about to put Ella down when we heard some fireworks going off down the street. I decided that Ella needed to have the WHOLE experience of the 4th of July. So we went down the street and stayed for just a little while. Ella covered her ears and kept on closing her eyes. When I asked if she wanted to go home, she said "yes, it's too loud." Hopefully next year the twins will be able to see the fireworks.
