4th of July weekend

Our family tradition is to go to Fort Wayne for the 4th of July weekend.  It has become something that we really look forward too.  We relax, sit by the Holms pool, and eat yummy food!

We were able to spend sometime with Emmerson's God Mother, Molly, and her family.  It's always a little crazy seeing as together we have 6 (soon to be 7) kids under the age of 8.  


We met at a fun park where the kids could run wild.  


Some how we managed a picture of all 6 of them.  (Henry, Lily, Claire, Emmerson, Elsie, and Charlie) 



Then we headed to Nana and Pop Pops house.  They had baby bunnies in the front yard.  We had to keep a close eye on them all weekend.  



The next morning (4th of July) we headed right across the street to spend the day with the Holms.  We had such a great time just swimming and playing all day and evening.  


As you can see this one has no problem making herself at home!




Chuck and Nikki always have new fountains for us to play in. 


And buckets to squeeze into. 






We were in the water all day!


A quick change for dinner!


and then we did it all again the next day!




Emmerson spent a large portion of her weekend "picking rocks".




Pop Pop was a good sport seeing as this is how a lot of his weekend was spent. 


Claire really wanted to go off the diving board...she thought it was great!


Once Emmerson saw Claire do it she decided she was brave enough too.  


Just living the dream...


Even our down time was spent by the pool...Delaney's toys were a hit too.
