4th of July

For the second year in a row we went to Arlington Park on the 3rd for the racing and fireworks! As always we brought a ton of food and the kids had a blast! My parents, the Klein's, the Grandziel's, the Bill Popp's and the Kaltenbach's all came too! It was fun, the kids enjoyed watching the horses race and they made bead necklaces and colored between races! And once again, the fireworks were one of the best I've ever seen!

The 4th of July I went to my sister's...there's another blog entry on that! :)

July 5th we went to the CL fireworks! We watched them from the local middle school again like we have for the past few years! Our neighbors Joy/Will and Jim/Julie and their daughter Addy came too. This time Loren and Kaylynn fell asleep during the fireworks! Loren was actually asleep in the grass! I couldn't believe it!
