July Fourth Weekend

 Happy BIrthday America!


We had a fun weekend celebrating our nation's birth. Cannon ended up spending the weekend with us and we did lots of fun stuff. 

Mom and Doug had us over for dinner Saturday, 

Matthew and Cannon played cornhole
Hungry kids...
Doug the grill master. We had a lovely time with good food and good conversation.

We got home and had a rousing game of Life. 

LOTS of laughter for sure. 

Sunday (the 4th) we had a chill morning then the kids swam most of the afternoon.


Then it was off to In and Out down in Keizer for dinner! Depending if we are in town or not, this may become a tradition in the coming years.
Love these faces. 

We left around 3:45 knowing there would probably be a long wait in the drive thru line. We were suprised to get there and only had to wait about 15-20 minutes! We had our food by 4:45 and headed to a local park in Keizer to eat. 




We got home and the kids got back in the pool again for some evening swimming.


Due to the heat and dry land around us, we didn't get any fireworks this year. But there were plenty of them going off around us. The kids went outside to watch. The lighing wasn't great so I lack good photos, but there was SO much sillines!


Monday was a super fun boat day. Juliet and Cannon joined us and we headed out to West Linn to a new boat ramp, Bernert Landing.

Off we go! Doug actually bought a used "buddy seat" to install in front so we can take two extra kids. It worked great!







Why, yes.. that IS four people on our three person tube! They wanted to try it and for some odd reason I allowed it..haha! They got tossed off good a couple of times and decided it probably wasn't the best idea, but they had so much fun!

Ice cream to end our day was necessary 😀

Thankful for our country, thankful for sunshine, and thankful for a super fun weekend!
