Our 4th of July was pretty good this year, considering it was very HOT! We spent the morning at home, like usual. For lunch we went to Gerhard and Gisela's house then played a little on their back patio. The triplets got their first taste of fireworks. We let them throw those little popper things. When they weren't throwing hard enough, we stepped on them. That was pretty fun. After an afternoon nap, we went to Aunt Kara and Uncle Wes' house for dinner. There were a lot of people and two big dogs. Will loved the dogs, Xander minded a little and Grace hated them. They also didn't like the bottle rockets people were setting off. So, they came home with Pam and Mike and we stayed for a while. They slept through all the neighborhood fireworks being shot off, and that was nice. But, they were up early the next morning when Brian and I really wanted to sleep in! Brian took off Thursday and Friday, so he was home for a 5 day weekend. We took the kids to an indoor playground on Friday, that was pretty fun. Saturday we had dinner at the Niebuhs and played with our two sets of twin cousins whose grandparents live next door to Dale and Ellen. So, we kept busy and it was a fun departure from the normal days and weeks. This will be another busy week, with get togethers and outings. Friday, Brian and I leave for Kansas City and the kids are splitting the time with both sets of grandparents. We will only be gone until Sunday, though. No big week long trips like last summer.
