We ran out Saturday morning and got a birthday cake. He picked the purple cake with pink balloons...because it was a marble cake (he's secure in his manliness). He really wanted a Batman cake though. Maybe next year!
We had beautiful weather the whole weekend but it was HOT HOT HOT. The parade on Sunday was at 2pm - Ella and Silas decided they wanted to be in the parade on a truck with friends. So Justin, Mason and I watched for almost 2 hours before seeing them near the end, by which point we were about to melt.

Si, Mas, Zoe, Amanda and Ella-
Impossible to get everyone to look at the camera AND smile!
Four days after her surgery, Beth was crazy enough to have the annual 4th of July cookout! Glad she did though, the kids had a blast swimming and we all had a great time.
Like we always do, we loaded the kids into the back of the pickup truck and drove back to the park in the neighborhood to watch the fireworks. There were tons of people out this year setting off their own fireworks - some way too close for comfort!

The fireworks were pretty darn good and then the kids spent time after doing pop-its, sparklers, smoke bombs and burning a finger or two...
It was a GREAT (but exhausting!) holiday weekend and we're VERY grateful that Grandpa J was feeling good enough to make the drive here to see us!!
