Fourth of July

The boys were really excited about the Fourth of July this year because we decided they could stay up late and watch the fireworks!

 

We met our friends, Lauren and Addie, at the pool on the third.  That night we went to the school Ice Cream Social and then set out our blanket and put on the bug spray for the fireworks.  Henry and Walter loved everything...Mom and Dad weren't big fans of the crabby factor the next day!

The next morning we got up early and did the Fun Run/Walk at school and Henry ran in the race for his age group (he's in the blue shirt).  He'd been looking forward to it since last year!  He just can't help but look around and enjoy watching everybody running.

 

After a few meltdowns, we headed home and relaxed for a little while before driving to the lake where we had dinner with Gramps and Grandma L, Uncle Dan and Aunt Gayle, and Mimi Megan.  We even took a little cruise around the lake while having blueberry pie. 

 

I started feeling a little under-the-weather after we got home from the Fun Run but figured it was the heat and humidity combined with being tired.  Turns out I was sick, so Nate took Henry and Walter to the lake on Saturday so I could have some time to rest.  By Sunday, Walter was sick with the same thing...which began an interesting month for us.
