Happy Birthday, USA!

We've kept ourselves busy the past few days with lots of fun activities. We took the boys to watch fireworks, which turned into quite an adventure as we were drenched by a brief rainstorm beforehand. Despite the rain, we stuck it out (in the car!), and stayed until the show began. And, oh it was worth it! Nate adored the fireworks that he'd been eagerly anticipating for days. And, Levi? Well, let's just say that he seemed to enjoy the first three fireworks. After that, he had better things to do....


On the 4th, we spent most of our day at a cookout with Eric's family. We all had a super time eating, swimming, and laughing together. Nate, unsure of the "deep" water at first, quickly warmed up and was happy to ride on his "boat" raft for much of the afternoon, splashing anyone within reach! Levi, on the other hand, is fearless! He LOVED the water, and tried more than once to dive right in from our arms! I love how my boys can both be complete opposites, but both so perfect for our family.


Since then, we've gotten together with a great group of young people from our church for dinner, visited a farmer's market, and even gotten some work done around the house. And, the weekend isn't even close to being over yet! Who knows what else we'll be getting into soon! (Berry picking, perhaps??) Hope you're having a lovely (and productive!) weekend!
