Independence Day

Our annual ice cream dinner - note Micah's joy as he looks at the toppings on the counter!



I'd like to share our weekend from the kids' point of view...

Jonas: We went on a vacation to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the 4th of July. Before we saw the fireworks we were walking to a stadium to see a concert when we saw a helicopter start to take start to take off! And then, 2 jets flew over our heads and did a circle over us. Then the helicopter took off and the pilot waved at us! Then we went and got good seats in the sadium. We saw Lonestar perform for 1 1/2 hours. Then we saw the fireworks. It was awesome!

Leslie: We had fun at grandma and grandpa's house! We saw fire works and a singer! We had an ice cream dinner too! Madisen is moving to Texas. It is sad. (She is a friend I have that I made at the church that grandma goes to.) She invited me to a pool. We went to Stevie B's too! We had fun!

Owen: I am happy that we got to go to Stevi B's at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Troy: I like it that we got to have an ice cream dinner. I like it that we got to play with water balloons at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I like it how we got to go to Stevi B's.

Micah: I am thankful for that we could have a good time with the ice cream dinner. My favorite part of the ice cream dinner was when we ate the ice cream pizza. I am thankful for that we got to have the other ice cream dinner (editor's note - dessert after a normal dinner!). I am thankful for that we got to watch the fireworks.

Evelyn: "Bana!" (Banana) "Bana!" (Grandma) "Bana!" (Grandpa) "Bana!" (Pajamas) "Bana!" (Panda) The word for the week was obviously "Bana" and it has several meanings. Lucky us.

We sure enjoyed ourselves this week!

Reading your post and Blythe's post made me so jealous. I miss being able to be with family on holidays...and any other time for that matter. I'm glad you guys had a great time.

P.S. cute idea to post from the kids...another idea of yours that I will most likely "borrow" :)
