Happy 4th!

Our holiday was not the most adventurous, but we had a lot of family time which is something very special right now. Peter worked of course but came home by the late afternoon. We swam in the kiddie pool, jumped on the trampoline and set off a few fire crackers. We are having another heat wave here so it was about 100 degrees. That is for sure my hottest 4th of July ever. Later we went to a nearby park and watched fireworks. It was a very fun day. Eden got traumatized by the first firecracker that we set off and then she covered her face the rest of the time. She would only look if I told her that the spinning ones looked like flowers.
Dallin has decided that our double stroller is now a triple. He likes to ride in between the seats and Eden doesn't mind so I guess that works. When it was time for fireworks it was still like 80 degrees out.
Dallin LOVES fireworks and was begging for more the whole time. Tanner had a really tight grip on Peters hands but also liked it. Eden was hiding under her blanket the whole time. I finally talked her into peeping one eye out by telling her that they looked like princess sparkles or that there were just little ones. Poor Eden.

This was the shot of the day with Eden the supermodel.
The kids really liked swimming and even Daddy joined in.
I had a good time getting close ups of the kids faces as you can tell.
Why is there a naked baby on the trampoline you ask? That is a very good question.
Dallin can really get some air now. He is growing so much lately. He looks like a little boy now and not a toddler. It is amazing that our kids are getting so grown up. Yesterday he found some nail clippers and clipped his own nails. Apparently he is a big boy now.
