4th of july

We had the best 4th of July weekend....I'm sad that it's coming to an end. On Friday night, we had a tailgating party at church to watch the fireworks and it was so much fun to spend that time with so many friends! On the fourth, we had our "first annual" 4th of July barbeque at our house. We had so much fun..the kids swam all night, the parents just chilled, the kids had a blast with the sparklers and the fireworks that Ryan and Kurt set off were awesome! Poor Emma had a pretty tough weekend...her feet got attacked by fire ants at the fireworks...then when her friends came over for the party she went to show them her hermit crab and found him dead....then she stepped on a hot sparkler and burnt the bottom of her food badly, leaving her hopping on one foot the rest of the weekend. Poor girl :( She survived it all, though and I think she still managed to have a great time. I'm not ready for Ryan to go back to work tomorrow and the partying to end...
