Independence Day 2011


As always we spent the 4th of July with some of our best friends, the Eckhoffs. They throw the best 4th of July parties! We appreciate all the work that went into it. Thanks, Melissa and Jeremy, we all had so much fun!!! Happy Birthday, USA. They had the best activities for both kids and adults. By far, the favorite activity of the kids was the water slide backed up by a slip and slide straight down their big hill. The kids had SO much fun! The girls with their annual contribution to the party. Lynn, our daycare provider, always gives the kids light up bracelets on the 4th. They were a big hit! The kids are getting so big. This is the first year that the fireworks were not too scary or loud for any of the kids. We were all able to sit outside and watch them go off. And what a show it was! Jeremy sure knows his fireworks!! Cara would ooh and ahh with the crowd. So cute!










The following morning we had a delicious breakfast out on the deck.

From Rochester we headed to Austin to watch the parade. My parents set up chairs to assure we had a good spot. It was hot, but the girls both loved it.



A big shout out to my cousin Zach who is on the Austin Fire Department. Brynn loves to watch the trucks go by, but she sure doesn't like to listen to them!
