A Different 4th . . .

We started off our 4th of July with a morning walk
over to our neighborhood pond to feed the geese,
but got rained on before we could make it there.
We didn't mind too much though, it was kind of fun
because we weren't cold at all.
That was def. different! Never had rain on our
4th that we can recall!

Later that afternoon, we headed over to
Chuckie Cheese for some family fun time.
We all had a blast!
Never been to CC on the 4th before!
That was different!
Neither Jace or I had
eaten there since we were kids, & lets
just say, you def. wouldn't go there for the food!
It's all in the rides & games baby!

Cole's a fierce competitor in this Derby race!
And Daddy helping with the reigns.

Shooting hoops with daddy
Skeet Ball, one of my favorites! And Coles now too!

After Cole was down for the night, Jace & I kicked back in our
own backyard on our trampoline with pillows, blankets,
popcorn, & Popsicles to watch the show!
Never done that before either.

Pretty much all fireworks are legal here so people
go nuts & spare no expense when buying fireworks!
Every night for the week leading up to the 4th we would
hear them going off.
And that night, there were tons of huge air show
fireworks surrounding us from every angle.
That was def. different!
And Cole amazingly slept through it all!

After watching only a few minutes of the awesome
lights display going off everywhere around us,
we decided to go grab Cole so he could see a few minutes off them,
but, he was already out like a light!

Needless to say, we enjoyed our different 4th!
