4th of July

July 4th Weekend was a whirlwind of fun family time! 

We met up with Tess & Ty, and Michelle & John's families

Cora and Summer chillin' on the swing!

Tess is such a good mom!

On the 4th, 

we actually went to the parade!

Then we had a barbecue at our place with my sisters,

Doug & Evi, Evi's family from Hungary, Anji, and the HILL FAMILY!

Is that enough ice cream?

Ask Richard...

"Ice cream you say?"

It's an ice cream-off!

This is beautiful Audrey letting me practice face paint!

All the designs were her ideas!

So creative!

The next morning,

after we slept in,

picked up more garbage in the cul-de-sac,

and took showers;

WE WENT TO THE ZOO

with Anji, Michelle, Tess, and Mychelle 

(that's what we call my sister to distinguish.)

Addie has quite the balance of a lovely ballerina!

More swings...

More face paint...

More creepy Mitchell hiding behind things.

So, if you think exploding fireworks is exciting?

Wait until you read what's happening in my next post!

(Not being sarcastic.. it's really exciting!)
