Happy 4th!!!

We had a great 4th of July with our friends, the Kilian's and VanDussen's at Sandy Pines. The kids had a blast playing in the water and on the beach, eating ice cream and watching the fireworks. There are LOTS of pictures, so keep scrolling. :-)

Playing at the beach...





Heading to get ice cream...












Fireworks...

Eli has never really enjoyed the noise of the fireworks. After staying inside for most of them, he finally came out. Joel had to have his hands over his ears tho.


This was the next morning. We didn't get home until midnight and had to get up early for church. Needless to say, they were wiped out!

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love that last picture!! How precious!

I, of course, don't mind you adding me to your list, as long as I can add you :), I also have to get to yours through Alison's :).

haha, there were actually only 3 Pantene left on the shelf when I got there and I had to ask to get more (must have had some in the back??!) I thought I'd be able to get back sometime this week, but it's looking to be a busy week and I doubt I will. Oh well...

My best friend is having quadruplets(!!!!) that's why I got all the diapers...I'm stocking up for her, not being greedy :)!

Maybe I'll run into you sometime at Kmart :). Glad you guys had a good 4th!
