Fourth of July

We had a super fun 4th of July. We started at a ward member's house with a pancake breakfast, face painting, and water balloon toss. When we are in town we normally go to the church breakfast function. Our neighborhood has started a kid 4th of July parade at the park. It makes me sad to miss it and not see all the cute local kids. The church breakfast is always fun though.

The boys came home with some "babies" - water balloon babies. Rhett has three and he has cared for them well - hiding them from his siblings. (Update Rhett's last balloon popped 8/4, so funny watching him care about them so much.) Myles wasn't as careful and the babies didn't last more than a day.

My friend and I went fabric shopping. I was just window shopping while she picked up needed fabric during their sale. After the dad's had a shopping turn and went to Harbor Freight Tools.

We went to a friend's lake house for the firework fun. Shady Lake is a small cute lake in Renton. After hanging out there, I have to admit it would be an awesome lake to live on, a great location. I think every house on that lake was having a party. So many fireworks, big ones! Anthony and his friend had fun spending to much on fireworks. They even picked out a firework and dedicated it to their wives. It was a fun time with friends and Grammy. Anthony had a firework car race with the kids, he enjoyed it and lost his voice a little too.
