Independence Day Fun

We all had such a fun 4th of July.  The day started off with the Murray Parade.  The kids had tons of fun collecting all the candy and playing with family.  Lloyd and Margie were able to come and enjoy the parade with us and my family. 

Megan, Tyler, and Josh waiting for the fun to start.

After the parade we went over to my parents house.  This year my mom wanted to do something extra special for the grandkids so my parents rented a super fun bouncy water house.  The kids had so much fun on the slide.  They seriously spent four...five...six...hours playing on this house.  It was so much to watch them go up and down over and over again.  At one point they would jump from the top and land on the bottom of the slide and totally bounce off into the little pool at the bottom.  Since Josh is so little he totally flew when he went down.  It was a great idea and I think that they are going to rent another one for next year.

Tony and Megan at the top of the slide.  Megan didn't like going up the ladder and wasn't super happy to be up on the slide.

Tony and Megan at the bottom of the slide.  Megan didn't really like the slide.  The water was really cold still.

Tyler sliding down the big water slide.

Joshy coming down fast.  So much fun.

Megan had her own little pool that she liked playing in.  She also liked climbing in the sand box and getting all dirty after being in the pool.  Silly girl.

Megan relaxing on the deck after playing in the water.

Tyler enjoying his lunch on the deck while drying off it the sun.

Josh eating his lunch...chips.  That's all I could get this kid to eat.  Trouble.

Tony and Megan relaxing in the nice cool front room.  Tony had to take Megan on a drive to get her to finally go down for a nap.  She didn't want to miss any of the fun.

Joshy wearing some sweet goggles.  He didn't want them on his eyes, he wanted them over his eyes...interesting.

Ben and Gavin chilling on the floor together.  So cute.  Megan laid down with them a little later, she isn't much bigger then these guys.

Megan enjoying some of Averee's birthday cupcakes while we waited to start the fireworks.

Tyler enjoying the fireworks on the curb.

Josh started watching the fireworks on the chairs but quickly moved to a blanket across the street.  All the kids ended up across the street for some reason.  Us adults didn't mind.

Tony took Megan on a ride on the scooter.  She was getting tired and really wanted off when I came to take their pictures. 

Tyler and Josh at the neighbors across the street watching the fireworks.  Such a fun day.
