More Fireworks

We had two late nights this weekend. On Friday night, our neighbors Zack and Jess organized a block party in their front yard. It was fun to get to know our neighbors better and our kids had fun playing with the other kids. Gavin loved Zack’s mister attachment to his hose and must have drunk a gallon of water from it. Between that and the lemonade he didn’t have a prayer of spending the night dry.

On Saturday night we went to NRH2O. This was our first trip there without Alycia and her family. We missed them but enjoyed ourselves anyway. Gavin and Renée did some great lily pad jumping (enjoy the video). The park was crowded so we didn’t go down any water slides but spent time in the lazy river and the wave pool. After we were done we cuddled up in our towels to watch the fireworks display. It was another great fireworks show that the kids and Sam loved. They also enjoyed Doritos because I don’t allow synthetically orange food in my house after some nasty carpet stains in our last house. We learned where the best place to park is so we were home a little after 10.
