fun on the 4th

We jam packed our 4th of July this year. We headed to a park for a BBQ lunch first and got to visit with family and friends. .
Scott was our gourmet chef and cooked us all up some yummy chicken while we chatted and let the kids play.

Scott's sisters Kim and Kris were in town with Jackson and Relia. We miss not living closer to them.
I can honestly say that Jackson and Connor played "sword fight" the ENTIRE time they were with each other. They played so good with each other.

The 4th of July is on of my favorite holidays and I can't think of a better way to spend it than with people you love eating your weight in yummy food.

After the picnic we headed out to our friends the Coffman's house. Whenever we are there we are guaranteed a fun time. We ate more yummy food, the kids wore themselves out playing and making smores.

.
Then came the fireworks. The guys bought 2 ginormous firework packs and we sat back to watch the show.
Also, there house is on a hill with a fantastic view overlooking the city so we got to see the city firework show as well as multiple illegal home firework shows as well.




Hope you all had a relaxing and meaningful 4th!
