4th of July

We had such a fun 4th of July! We started off the morning with a brunch at my parent's house. It's a tradition we have had for years with my parents and Rick's parents. The kids had a blast playing croquet, playing on the play ground, riding bikes and 4 wheelers. We are so blessed to have such wonderful families.

After the brunch we went home and spent the afternoon with the Mackays. It was so fun to see them -- talk about cute kids. They got all their looks from their mother. They are always fun to hang out with. Liz is always good for a laugh or two! Brandon is great to clean up any messes he can find=) We are going to be neighbors out at Last Chance- I can't wait!

We ended the evening at our good friend's home for a BBQ and some major slip-n-slide fun!

What a fun day. I'm so glad we have such great and fun neighbors. It doesn't matter how often we get together, we always have a great time. The kids all get along great and enjoy being together. I don't think we could ever leave this neighborhood.
