Finally the 4th

With all that has been going on at our house, I totally forgot to post about the 4th of July. Be prepared for a lot of pictures.

We got up and decided that since our ward wasn't doing a pancake breakfast, we would have our own big yummy breakfast. I made my Dads famous biscuits and Jesús made some tasty gravy to go with them. We had some very sweet peaches from the Buntings peach trees to go on the side.

Disaster of a kitchen after the biscuits were made

Jesús had to do a river rafting trip that morning so he quickly enjoyed some biscuits and gravy before he had to leave.

Patrick enjoyed the biscuits

and so did Elena

Then I got some cute pictures of Elena in her 4th of July bow I made her and a cute dress from Costco I forgot I had.

Then we loaded up the car and went swimming at the Nichols with the Buntings and the Tyler Nichols family.

Carter is such a cutie

At this point, all the boys were swimsuitless (is that a word?) yep they were doing a little skinny dipping

Lucy was just a little tired

Patrick liked smacking the dogs around

Elena was ridiculously tired but refused to sleep

Patrick wanted to be naked too, like the big boys and liked playing in the water spouts

Sarah was very peaceful and calm on the blanket

Jesús and Tyler snagged Davids swimsuit and threw it in a tree

Then the tree broke

Sarah Jean wanted to play with Carter

Then we went back to our place so Katy could make home made ice cream and cut my hair, so while we were just sitting around Katy and Tyler brought some snakes to light

The kids were very excited to watch it

Their firework happy dance

Then back to the step to watch it again

Afterwards we went to David and Lindseys to watch the BC fireworks and have ice cream.
Good and tiring day.
