4th of July Fun

Yesterday was a good day celebrating our nation's freedom with friends and neighbors.  We had a potluck breakfast with some of our neighbors on our shared lawn, and met a lot of people we haven't met before.

Rilyn sat at the kiddie table and enjoyed eating off of all the other kids' plates that they left behind to go and play.

We spent the afternoon at Kendall's, where we grilled and let Rilyn play with a few sparklers.  She wasn't the least be afraid and enjoyed them.

I was a little disappointed they cancelled our firework show here in Aurora because we can sit in our front lawn and see the fireworks, but hopefully next year Rilyn will get to watch some fireworks.

The best part of the 4th for me was Tyler having the last 5 days off!  It was so great having him home and spending some time together as a family of 3 before this next one arrives.

We hope everyone else enjoyed their 4th!!!






Trixie all dressed up

We immediately took the scarf off of Trixie because Rilyn thought it would be fun to pull her around the house by it.  Trixie was NOT amused.

Rilyn's first corn on the cob!  She tried stealing everyone else's and that is all she would pretty much eat.
