Fabulous 4th of July!

Our fun 4th of July weekend started when the Jazayeri's came down and we headed to the pool. Cam loved the water and being pushed around by Daddy!

And the girls loved hanging on Garrett. They look like a circus act!

Ty and Daddy had fun just chilin' on the steps and catching some rays.

It was so relaxing and warm out, Tatum fell right to sleep in her tube. No, not really but she's a great actress, right? :)

We headed back to the house for a quick nap and shower and then Courtney and Tim came over for a bbq. The girls loved Courtney and wanted to be wherever she was. :)

After dinner, we headed outside for some messy smores, yum!

Look at these sweet BFFs!

We were sad the Jazayer's had to head home on Sunday. But on the 4th, we headed down to Old Poway Park and enjoyed all the patriotic festivities. They had booths of food, crafts, the steam engine taking people for rides around the park, a room with a huge model train set, and kids games and crafts. And the kids got these cute, little flags!

Nose kisses.

We had a picnic on the grass in the shade. It was hard to find a free spot since the place was so packed! Quite a popular event, but lots of fun.

And Tatum got this cool tattoo which she couldn't wait to put on her cheek. So cute!

And it wouldn't be a complete event without stopping at the cotton candy booth!

Ty loves trains and loved standing and waving at the steam engine as it went by. We've been on it once or twice but we definitely weren't going on it this day since the line to get on was ridiculous!

After a rest, our friends The Mahoney's came over for dinner and then we all headed over to Rancho Bernardo middle school to see the fireworks show. Here's Tatum and Ellie ready for a ride to the field.

And here are my patriotic kids, singing and dancing up a storm. This place was great, they had lots of room for all the kids to run and play with each other, while we sat on blankets and rested. They also had food booths and funnel cake which we had to go buy, yum!
Our other friends came to join us too. Kaitlin is Tatum's friend from preschool and she was so excited to introduce Kaitlin to Ellie. It wasn't 5 minutes and the girls were playing a game of ring around the rosie or something.

And I put this picture in because of Ty's look on his face in the back. He had a total crush on Kaitlin and wanted to be next to her every minute. Here he's trying to squeeze in between the girls to he could sit next to her, such a flirt!

And here are the looks on the kids faces during the fireworks show. It was awesome having them going off right over our heads, amazing!

Ty wasn't sure what to think but it didn't scare him. He just kept saying, "Boom, Boom!". It was all in all, a wonderful and memorable 4th of July!
