4th of July

We enjoyed the day by relaxing around the house and not feeling rushed all morning long. Around 3:30 we went to Tech, where they always have a Celebration that starts at 11:00am and doesn't end until the fireworks are over. They provide live music, local bands, food, and lots of things for kids to do to keep cool. We knew they had a big water slide so we took Emma's bathing suit. She has seen one before but has not wanted to go on it because it was at our School for fun day and there were too many people around. So, we were not sure if she would actually get on it today, but she did. She was the smallest one to go down and the guys asked her if she wanted help climbing up the stairs...of course that was a big NO! She went down and had a blast. She wanted to go again until she looked at how long the line was and said, Never Mind:) So she enjoyed playing with water balloons, getting her face paited, eating cotton candy, and dancing to the music. After that, we went home and prepared dinner, jumped on the trampoline, and watched the fireworks from our front yard. It was a nice quiet evening shared with Steven's Mom, Grandma, Auntie Emily, and his brother Paul, from Phoenix. We hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday as well.

Hi Emma,
I liked the pictures you sent of you getting ready to go down the slide. It looks like you had a fun day. We miss you so much- Mom and Dad too. Grandma Burns loves you all.

Looks like she had a lot of fun. Yeah for going down the slide, I can't keep my boys off of them, they are always asking me to buy one. Only if they weren't so expensive!! Hope you all had a wonderful Fourth!
