2010 Independence Day Celebration

Benjamin and Jennie had their first water balloon fight. Jennie found a balloon with a pin hole in it and wanted to show everyone. She really enjoyed throwing the balloons at Mommy because Mommy playfully said "no don't get me".

Cousin Minna filling up the balloons and Benjamin and Jennie waiting to get to throw then.

Ooh! Dinner time.

Jennie hangs out with Papa for a little.

Benjamin discovered that he could stand on the top of the slide, grab the tree branches, and then jump. He was swinging like Tarzan all weekend.

Everyone gathers for the grand finally.

Cousin Minna and Caleb enjoy each others company.

Jennie has gotten so attached to Uncle John in only one week.

Benjamin was so happy to see fireworks and the noise did not nearly bother him as much as last year.

Jennie was getting cold toward the end of the night and wanted to sit with Grandma Lil. This was Jennie's first year staying awake for the fireworks and she did good. She covered her ears a little with the noisy fireworks but enjoyd it so much she asked to have fireworks everyday.

The kids were up two and a half hours past bed time and really ready to pass out.

Uncle John, Auntie Alicia and Caleb we are so glad you were able to visit and spend the holiday with us.
