We had a really great 4th of July this year! (We do always think of our wonderful days in Ohio on the 4th of July though and miss all of our great friends!). We got up early and headed to Murray Park for the 5K Fun Run. I had registered Jon & the oldest three kids to run it and had planned on taking the littlest 3 and saving a spot to watch the parade. But, then I decided I'd rather walk the 5K and then we'd decide if we wanted to stay for the parade.
It was a great weather-day. It was overcast, so not super hot. Jon ran with Jack, Lindsey & Emily while pushing Kate in the jogger. I walked and pushed Hannah & Hailey in the double stroller. We had a great time and enjoyed popsicles at the end of the race. We decided we'd rather go swimming than watch the parade this year, so we went home and did some quick cleaning the got ready to swim.
We met Peter, Becky, John & Brooklyn at Fairmont indoor pool and swam. The water was a little chilly, but the kids had fun. We stopped and got Taco Time & McDonald's (we really go all out on holidays :) ) and then had a fun afternoon hanging out at our house.
That evening, we had a BBQ with all of my siblings (except Richard & Misty who had just had a baby), Meg, Jason & Lucy, my Aunt Camille and her friend Sandy, the Cowden family and my friend, Julie. Dinner was delicious and then we played "psychiatrist." It was a fun game that Annie learned and it made us laugh & laugh. We let off fireworks in our driveway and enjoyed sitting outside visiting.
Happy Birthday to the best country ever!!!
Hannah & Hailey (almost 3 months)
Kate & Brooklyn (5 1/2 month)

I was reading this post and had 2 thoughts. 1 - You have six kids. SIX! (well 7 actually, including Brooklyn) 2 - Your kids grew up, and are growing up, so fast.
Anyway, that was a fun day spent together! You are the best for always hosting EVERY holiday in our family and putting it all together. Seriously, what would our family do without you?!!
Looks like lots of fun. Loved seeing all of the pictures. Such cute kids.
Looks like a great day! Cute pictures! :)
