Fourth of July

We had a lot of fun on the fourth of July. Since it was on a Sunday we celebrated Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. What a treat to have three days!



Saturday we went to Riverton park. Ollie and Lily choose to go on a car driving ride. They were both very happy to go on a ride. Lily really thought she was driving and threw a FIT (hello, two year old) when the ride was over. Then we settled down, ate some yummy snacks, and watched the fireworks.




Sunday, we went over to my cousins house and had a party for Uncle Denny. Most of my extended family was there and it was really good to see them all! (Above) All the kids were excited for the pinata and waited in line for their turn. (Below) Lily taking her turn to hit the pinata. (We were busy chating with people and didn't get a picture of Ollie in time. Oops!)







Monday, we started out the day swimming at the pool. Then we went over to the lake. We loved using the canoes. The kids were thrilled to be out on the water. Check out the mountains in the background of the picture!



After canoeing we went back to my parents house and had dinner. After it got dark we got out the sparklers and fireworks. Lily was fascinated with the sparklers and kept wanting more. Ollie was a bit more cautious. He did a few but then he just wanted to watch.



We had very happy kids that night!
