More 4th of July celebrations - splash pads, pool parties, and bubbles!

It's a long weekend full of fun celebrations for 4th of July.  We kicked off the day before with a morning trip to the splash park with our friends.  (It's so hot during the day that it's best to go in the morning.)

Time to take a break and have a snack

Maxwell found a little caterpillar and actually picked it up!  (Out of character for him)


Watching the caterpillar

After the kids were done at the splash park we went to play on the playground.


Carter was there too (and Andrea and Jeff) but just not these in these pictures.


All these flags flying in the wind made me feel so patriotic!


After naps, we went to a 4th of July pool party next door.  I made an orzo salad for the first time, plus did prosciutto wrapped figs (loved them at Tida's and had to have them again).

We bought a new digital camera that's waterproof so it was fun to try it out!

Emmalyn loves Mr. Chris


Owen, Hayden, and Maxwell

He loves swimming SOOO much.
His skills are great and I don't have to watch him like a hawk anymore.

As a special treat, as the sun went down, Chris added in some bubbles.  It was a LOT of bubbles.

Mr. Chris has Maxwell believing that when he says the magic word "abracadabra" it turns on the pool lights.  So when it gets dark, Max will say the secret word and Mr. Chris will discretely push the button to turn on the lights.  Maxwell thinks he's doing magic. :)
