4th of July

We had a really fun time celebrating the 4th of July at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  Since the holiday was on a Friday, we get together on the 5th.

Grandma had a craft for the kids to do.  They got to pick a foam animal mask to make, and Cosette chose a ladybug.

 Almost immediately after she made it, she put it on Bear.  And he has worn it ever since (and now we're into November).

Here are the grandkids joining hands to run around the yard with Grandpa.  Cosette had a lot of fun playing with water in the backyard last year, so we anticipated that we would do it again.  But Cosette was the only kid with a bathing suit, so when we got out the squirt guns everyone shot at Cosette.

 Cosette had a lot of fun with the sprinklers.

All in all it was a really fun holiday with family.  We also stopped by to see the Jensens on the way down, but I didn't take any pictures.  We had lunch and visited for a little while, and Rachel was kind enough to share some of her delicious cherry crop, which we then shared with my parents and sister.  They were the best cherries I've ever eaten, and my dad LOVED them.  Thanks again, Rachel!
