We had a busy, action packed fourth of July weekend! I actually took pictures, which I've been bad about lately. But I'm in a rush to post this, so I didn't have time to edit them, so you get to see my pics in all their naked glory. Did I just type naked glory?
Friday we had Cousin's School, which is a weekly semi-preschool thing we do with all the cousins in the McMurdie family. We have a lesson, music time and then a craft. Then we usually have lunch and go swimming. However, this Friday everyone else had other plans after lunch so it was just me and the kids. It rained, but the kids didn't care.
That night we went to ci-ci's pizza. Always a good time at ci-ci's.
And yes, Abby was blinged out the whole weekend. Go America!
Saturday we went to our ward breakfast and the kids joined the bike parade. Wish I would have taken pictures of that. It was crazy fun. Then after breakfast we went to the lake with Brian's family, which is a common occurance in the summer. But this summer is going to be different, because Carter discovered the jet skiis.
He was SO excited, and then once he got on he wouldn't get off. He rode that thing four or five different times with Brian and then Grandpa. Carter is a natural daredevil, and now I have something else to add to my gray hair list. Abby just enjoyed playing in the water with the girls. But at the end she got on the jet ski for the first time and loved it too.
(Don't ask about the pose. I haven't been letting her read SI swimsuit edition. Promise.)
After the lake we did our traditional trip to the fireworks stand a few miles from our house. Have to get a picture every time.
That night we were supposed to go to Concert in the Gardens with my family, but because of the rain, we decided not to risk it and stay around here instead. Of course, it didn't rain, and the concert was wonderful, and I'm sad that we didn't go, but we had fun anyway. We hung out with Brian's family that night and watched the fireworks.
Sunday we went to my Mom's house for hamburgers and fireworks. Brian helped John (the fireworks guru in our family) set the off, and they had lots of fun. The bugs were AWFUL, and Abby and Carter have mosquito bites everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE. But it was fun nonetheless.
I took pics on missy's camera, so maybe she'll get around to giving me those.
Okay! Off to speech therapy!
