4th of July

We decided to stick around the house and have a laidback 4th of July at home. The girls typically are in bed two hours before fireworks even start so we didn't really even explore that option. Josh created some of our own family fun instead... grilled some awesome steaks, did some sparklers, had a campfire and roasted s'mores in the backyard! As you can see in the pictures below, fun was had by all! :)

Forced smile for the camera!


Maryn was not happy about the location of the Dora 4-wheeler in the yard. It only moves forward when you push the button so she decided to get off the 4-wheeler and solve the problem herself.


Much happier about the direction she's heading now...


Makenna roasting marshmallows


Makenna taking a marshmallow lesson from Daddy (since he is the marshmallow expert... at least at our house ;)


I don't think Daddy could've made her s'more any bigger if he would've tried... she loved it!


Licking off more of that sticky, gooey mess


Daddy got out the hose to clean up the marshmallow mess but the girls had other ideas ;)


It all started with an innocent drink...


"Let me have a turn!"


Action shot!


SOAKED!!! "Where'd the water go?!" I think this picture was followed by a tantrum to get Daddy to turn the hose back on :)
