For the 4th of July we wanted to do something fun. We decided to go to my brother's house in Boise. My little sister and hubby came up from Provo and we had a party!
We stayed up too late, ate too much, and had a blast! Friday evening was my brother's dog's birthday party. We roasted hot dogs and ate dog shaped sugar cookies and hung out in the back yard while the kids and dogs played like crazy. Saturday we went to the zoo. They have a great zoo!
Kids awaiting fruit snacks at a stop.
They have this new exhibit called the Wallaby Walk-about. You get to go in with the wallaby's. There were 7 little wallaby's just hanging out while you walk through on the path. It was really cool. You can see one of the wallaby's just above the post in this picture.
Michael was tuckered out before the end.
Mike splurged and spent 50cents on goat food. Definitely one of Isabelle's highlights.
Jill and Tommy snuggled the kids during movies, read stories, and played. The kids remembered just how much we miss them.
We spent lots of time hanging out in the backyard. Kids and dogs running around like crazy, adults visiting.
After church the kids immediately ran straight to the backyard. I was changing my clothes and heard Isabelle, "NO MICHAEL!!" I headed out to see this....
...yeah, that's shoes and all. Apparently, he was hot. We had a great bbq at my Aunt and Uncle's home that evening.
On Monday morning, we headed to a park and splash pad before we had to drive home.
Jill and I are a week apart both with baby boys. We wanted to take a cute pregnant picture. Of course we wait until the last day, hot and gross at a park.
Having to say good bye....My brother and his wife have a daughter just older than Isabelle, a son just older than Michael and a dog a year older than Jake. Our families play perfectly together. We didn't even see Isabelle and Sydney almost the whole weekend. They were just off playing with this rope, usually dragging Tony and Sarah (dolls) behind them. We had a blast with my family!
We got home Monday evening and debated on finding fireworks. We were pooped. We decided to go check some out in a little town just north of us. It was AWESOME! The city fireworks themselves weren't all that great, but everyone was lighting all sorts of stuff all around. We couldn't even stay pointed in one direction for more than about 30 seconds. It was panoramic. We were glad we went. The kids had fun. Isabelle didn't like the big ones, but loved the rest and keeps asking for fireworks. Michael was struggling to stay awake by pointing and saying "wow" every once in a while. We had a good time. Yet another fun 4th of July weekend.
