July 24th

We spent the 24th of July with Aly's family first swimming, then eating, and capping it off with a few fireworks. Over the last few years we really haven't done any fireworks so it was fun to see Isabelle and Gracie's reaction. I guess we have sheltered Isabelle a little too much because she is four and has never held a sparkler! After a little trepidation on her part, she finally held the sparkler and wanted more and more of them. It was a good day and the kids were way to tired by 10:00. Isabelle fell asleep on the lawn and Gracie followed soon after in the car, all in all I think they enjoyed themselves.


The only time that Gracie kept her hat on for more than five seconds, it is something we need to work on.


Daddy and the Girls. Even in the pool Isabelle is a poser.

Alex has never had a sparkler. In Texas, those are even outlawed. No fireworks period.
