4th

We were excited to be spending the 4th with the Ball family. We'd heard many times about the awesome fireworks that go right over their house. And we were excited to be able to enjoy the day without sweating our brains out! It did not disappoint! This was the first time our boys have actually stayed awake long enough to see fireworks, so it was a lot of fun to watch their faces.
Of course earlier in the day we went to the lake and had lots of fun as usual. We also went on a fun hike and Mel made some amazing hamburgers for us to enjoy for dinner!

There's a random old bus in the middle of the woods on the hike we went to. It was pretty cool.

All the boys thought these snakes were pretty cool. Gross.

 If you're wondering if boys like to watch Moana too, here's your answer:

 Root Beer Floats on the 4th! We're living the dream!

 Max never wanted to get out of the kayak.

 I almost peed my pants at the new game we came up with - belly bopping the person off the tramp. It was hilarious and Landon is the king.

 Sam got pretty good in the kayak too!

 Yummy hamburgers!

 Mel and Randy's yard is amaze balls.
