Independence Day

On the Fourth of July we went to my parent's house and celebrated our freedom. In their city there was a festival in the park where kids could go on train rides, play games for prizes and even get pony rides. Abigail did a cake walk game and brought home a fresh apple pie! Rachel was sick this weekend with an ear infection. It was her first one and although she was a trooper she was a little tired.



Jake bought some fireworks with the girls and they both loves watching the sparks fly. We were happy to see how much Abigail enjoyed them, especially the snaps, snakes and flowers. Rachel grunted a lot when they would go off too!



My parents have pink sand. It's fun to play in and super fine. For some reason Rachel thought it was good. She ate more pink sand than I think I want to know!
Happy 4th of July!
God Bless America!

So fun to see the pics! Looks like it was a great time! So cool that the girls got to see Jake set off fireworks too...and loved it! And the pink sand...PINK?! So fun! I cracked up at your comment about Rachel eating the sand...I have those concerns about Haven with us going to the beach soon where there is so much sand to eat...I mean play in! Ha! :-)

Looks like fun! I love the sand picture. After Zeke saw the pictures he decided we should go to Uncle Jakes house. :)
