4th of July

We had a fun Fourth. Cole and I did some deep cleaning of the house and then we did fun stuff in the evening. (It was the same thing as last year but the kids love it!) They jumped in the moon walks, rode on a firetruck and on a train.  We were all very festive and wore red, white, and blue.

 Cade and Cole are racing in this one.  If you look carefully you can see how happy Cade's face is. He loves to race.

Cade won ;)

Then we went to a friend's house to watch fireworks. I was pretty sure Cade was going to hate it since he is pretty sensitive to sound. But he did great and even was brave enough to take his hands off his ears towards the end. Rylee liked the lights and it didn't seem to effect her otherwise. She was just happy to go around sitting on everyone's laps!

Rylee did go to just about everyone and sat on their laps. Parents and kids alike.

It is neat to be able to live in an area close to a military base and see some of the sacrifices people make to defend our country. Some are sad, some inspiring, and most just make me very, very grateful.
