Independence Day

4th of July week was pretty eventful at our house this year.  Jared took the whole week off and we had a ton of good times celebrating with family who came up to visit.  
We made homemade root beer for the first time and the kids were fascinated by the fog....delicious!

Jared took the kids on some rides in the backyard.










We have a great view of the fireworks right by our house - I love that we don't have to wait in any slow traffic lines to see them!

 The next day we had a picnic at the park and the kids had a great time playing on the playground.  Daniel was spinning on the tire swing a bit too long and felt and Jacob is imitating how he felt a few minutes before in this picture :(














That evening the big kids & adults went 4-wheeling thanks to our generous neighbor.  Grandpa Neal and I stayed behind to watch the little ones.


The kids and their cousins had fun riding horses (thanks again to our awesome neighbor!)





It was a memorable week and we had so much fun hanging out with our cousins, aunts and uncles from AZ.
