Making Pancakes

Lilly decided that she wanted to help me make pancakes for dinner the other night.  So, we pulled up a stool, put on her apron, and gave her something to stir.  She did a very good job.

 

July 4th



We had a great time celebrating Independence Day this year.  We went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house early enough for the kids to spend some time playing on their slip-n-slide.  Grandpa even got in on the fun.

 

 

It soon got too hot to be outdoors so we spent the afternoon playing with toys in the basement.
After dinner we took the kids to the splash pad in the nearby local park.  They had a bunch of fun running around in the water and catching the parachute fireworks that Grandpa was setting off.

 

When we got back to the house the kids got into their PJ's and we decided to set off more fireworks.  Since the kids can't stay up too late we started while the sun was just setting.
