Fourth of July Festivities

I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that I don't have many pictures from this year's 4th of July celebration.  That's soooo not like me! However,  I can confidently say its because I was kid wrangling (mainly Abbie) the whole time. 
          
We had been practicing our firework shooting skills all week (who are we kidding...we were convincing Hayden she likes fireworks AND we were successful). She has become quite the firework shopper, having befriended the firework man. He knows exactly which fireworks she would like and she would report back to him with her description of them.  Quite the social bug these days.
The day of the fourth the Muellers invited us to their place for their "Americafest".   It was another great night, as usual with Josh and Andrea and their families.  He grilled some amazing wings and burgers and Andrea put on a good kid party with the slip n slide and water balloons.   

Their view for the neighborhood fireworks was really beautiful too. We sat outside for over an hour watching everything. The fireworks were huge and constantly going! Definitely hoping we get the invite back for next year (hint, hint, Andrea). 

Somehow Abbie managed to stay awake the entire day and didn't fall asleep until 10:30pm when we got in the car. She was wide awake the next day at 7, but thankfully went back to a nap shortly which gave us time to get packed up for the Rufenacht Reunion.























Hay managed to play dress-up
and she LOVED the month old twins
