Happy 24th of July

I had an extra day off of work thanks to the 24th. I had every intention to take that day and clean the house but then a friend of mine told me about splash pads. And they are free so the kids and I loaded up, headed to the gas station for some snacks and went to the splash pad.






It was fun for something different to do but the kids got bored pretty quick. They are getting to big for these kinds of things I guess...darn!

We had big plans for Saturday so we decided to do our family fireworks on Friday night.

Nobody was enthused about my cool picture attempt. But the moon was so pretty I just couldn't help myself.


Britton really struggled trying to figure it out. You can see by the look on his face he was like, just take the dang picture...so I did.

Our neighbors were just getting home from the parade when we started our fireworks so they brought us homemade root beer and we enjoyed our awesome fireworks.




Saturday we took the kids to the Real soccer game. Here they are all dressed up and ready to go!

It was so dang hot at the game we all had to get huge snow cones....they were a life saver for sure.

before you walk into the stadium you are handed flyers and booklets and whatnot. Shayna used hers as a visor to keep the sun out of her eyes....smart girl!

Some of the players....

At half time Shayna and Tyler went to get drinks and treats so Britton and I took the opportunity for a photo shoot. Just ignore the shadows. We were completely melted at this point. We spent eight bucks on two bottled waters, and we were excited to do so.

After the game was the fireworks. They only allowed the north section of the stadium to go down on the field. We snuck down anyway and got awesome seats. We loved the fire work show, especially Shayna, she kept saying "this is so much fun!"




We didn't get home until after 11. My kids are never out that late. Shayna was hysterically laughing at everything on the way home. Poor little delirious girl. She kept us all entertained and Britton loved that she was laughing at everything he did or said. It was a great time! We all had a blast, thanks to Tyler's student for the awesome deal on tickets.
