4th of July weekend!

Sam and I had a great 4th of July weekend! The weather was awesome all weekend. 

Friday afternoon we set up the pool and slip and slide. Friday was the coolest of the 3 day weekend, but we didn't care!

Mommy couldn't believe we lasted the about 10 minutes we did in the pool. This water was pretty much straight from the hose with no time to warm up.

Friday night we had a water fight with Grandpa Rikli. Mom, Dad and Grandma were pretty much spectators. Grandpa was SOAKED by the end of it (Sam and I were pretty wet too!).

We made smores after supper...

We also tried sparklers for the first time.  Next year we need to wait till it's a little darker out though.

Saturday was the 4th of July celebration in Monroe and celebrating Grandma Hyland's birthday.

I dressed up for the occasion.

Playing games!

We got our faces painted. Sam and I both chose fireworks...

We did the wagon ride this year and had a full wagon of Hylands!

Sunday we hung around home. Matthew and Allie came over to enjoy the pool and slip and slide with us.

What a great weekend! We all wish every weekend was a three day weekend!
