Children's Discover Lab

 We took a trip to the Children's Discovery lab this summer with our cousins who were in town. They still had the huge tape tunnel system and slide but almost everything else inside was different than the last time we went. The kids had a lot of fun (until about 10 min before we were about leave Nathan broke his arm and we had to rush out to take him to the emergency room).

 

 

 

The spent a lot of their time creating houses and forts using these big building blocks.

This is such a great place to do something new and use some creativity.

4th of July

We had lots of fun over 4th of July weekend with family that came into town.

We enjoyed a backyard barbecue at my parents house, some swimming, and game of volleyball.

It was nice having Nathan & Dayleigh and Travis & Jessica, and Brandon in town for several days.

We had fun doing some mini-golf.

 We also enjoyed going out to Dave and Debbie's house for their traditional 4th of July celebration which consists of grilling, games, and fireworks. 

 Several of us decided to get a little patriotic with desserts. Andrea made some chocolate covered strawberries which were cute and yummy!

 I made some sugar cookies.

 And Sara did a cake.

 And when sliced, your piece came out like this....pretty awesome!!

 After dinner we enjoyed a swim in the pool.

 Playing a game of RAGE.

 Just hanging out and having fun

Brooklyn actually did amazing during the firework show. She got nervous a couple times but mostly just watched the show and actually fell asleep during it.

Happy 4th of July!!
