4th of July!

it's still the holiday weekend and we have been having a great one!  it's going to be rough for everyone to go back to work and school on Monday.  the weather has been great and we've been taking full advantage by being outside, enjoying friends and family, staying up late and sleeping in.  Penelope has slept til 8:30, 9 and 9:30!!!  believe me - this is a record for the kid who normally gets up at 6:15.  i love it!
 
she has been SUPER pumped for the big fireworks show this year on July 3rd and twin oaks did not disappoint.  we went to the same show as last year - walked up the street, camped out in the grass, and saw 20 solid minutes of great fireworks!  Loved it!  This year we were joined by uncle kyle, aunt mary beth, baby logan, uncle jeff, aunt christa, gma and pawpaw dulle and aunt lizzie!  i have zero pictures from the night but penelope and logan both loved the fireworks.  (as did baby girl who bounced around in my belly like a crazy person!)
 
on the actual 4th we kept it low key with just the family. a  little pool time, hanging around the house and then we did our own small fireworks at home - accompanied by smores!  we bought a new hibachi for our smores use and wasted no time breaking it in!  did a few sparkers, snaps and smoke bombs, as well as some roman candles, fountains and parachute guys, then tucked in early.  was a great low key 4th!  some pictures of our little family fourth below!  last few times as a family of 3 - so crazy to think about!!!
