4th of July week

This past week was a hot one! The week started with Monday's high of 109 degrees! We were in our neighbor's pool at least once a day, and stayed cool in other ways too (note the Target Icees in the photo). On Thursday morning our Moms' Group from church went to Playland where the kids enjoyed getting wet in the Splash Zone and riding a few rides. Audrey and Isaac took a ride on the roller coaster. Then we all rode the carousel.
Our fourth of July celebration was a bit different this year. For the past eight years we have spent the evening at Grizzlies' stadium, enjoying the game and then a fireworks show afterwards. This year we were invited to a backyard BBQ by our friends, the Co family. We had a great time swimming in the afternoon, eating dinner together on the patio, then walking a short 1/2 mile to get a good seat on some grass for the fireworks show above Buchanan stadium. The weather was fantastic, only 100 degrees for the high, and a nice breeze once the sun went down too. Thank you Co family for including us in your plans this year!
