4th of July weekend

We had a very busy 4th of July weekend, beginning with our first every fishing trip. We packed a picnic and went down by McNary to a pond. It wasn’t exactly successful. We didn’t get any bites and Ryan and I both agreed that our children were not good fishing buddies. Delaney cast her pole in and immediately asked “do I have a fish yet?” A phrase that she continued to repeat every 15 seconds that her line was in the water. Colton had a little more fun, but he is generally my easier child. Needless to say fishing only last about 90 minutes before we moved onto lunch! Smile

Guess we’ll have to keep practicing!

Then on Sunday we went out to the farm to visit my parents, who happened to have a new batch of kittens. Delaney, who loves animals, was instantly smitten. She woke up the next morning at 5 minutes till 6, and literally the first words out of her mouth were “mom, can we see the kitty's?”

After one last visit to the kittens we headed off the the Basin City parade with Trina, Fran and Jake, Wes and Bethany and the kiddos.

After spending some time at Nina’s we then went to the Perkin’s for our annual 4th of July party. My kids played and played and played!

After sparklers we all loaded our exhausted selves into the car and drove home just in time to see the last of the Hermiston fireworks.

 

Then we slept for a week! Smile
