We had a great Fourth of July weekend. Kenny had Friday off and we were home until Saturday after nap when we headed down to Kenny's parents house in Ohio for a nice cookout and fireworks. The kids were excited to wear their new Fourth of July shirts - handpicked by Mom with a little activist flair to them - a little Peace and Love for the Fourth of July :)
We are normally pretty strict about bedtime but figured we shouldn't ruin all the kids' fun so we let them stay up! The only reason I felt a little bad was because they normally are a little crabby the day after they stay up late and we were leaving them the next day at Grandma's for a couple of days - real nice to get the kids crabby and ditch them!!! But Grandma said she didn't mind so it was decided!
We went one town over where there were fireworks being held outside a High School football stadium. There was a big huge
open field, and plenty of room. We weren't quite brave enough to head into the crowds in Toledo, so we were happy to see some good fireworks without all the congestion. We actually had a lot of fun waiting for the fireworks to start. Poppa was in a troublemaker mood and kept picking on people (which of course Lexi thought was a ton of fun as you can
see from the picture!). There were races and snuggles and some good family time! Both kids really liked the fireworks, 
although Elyse needed her ears covered the WHOLE time they were going on. The highlight of the fireworks for both of them was the one that went off in the shape of a smiley face! Overall it was a great Four
th of July and it made me happy that the kiddos had a good day! :)
