The Rest of the Fourth

This afternoon after the boys naps the Tavares Family came over to play and BBQ. We knew it was going to be hot so we set up our new knock off E-Z up tent with misters (Thanks MB) so we could stay cool while the boys played.

As soon as they heard the word outside both Jack and Ethan were waiting by the backdoor for us to let them out...Ethan was pretty close to getting out on his own...baby proofing is harder I see when they can open the doors...we're working on that now so we're ready for when Jack gets to that point.
Ethan dove right in. Poor thing...he didn't have a suit and so we got some of the bigger swim diapers I bought on sale last year...who knew their were boy and girl themes....he didn't mind...what a trooper!
Jack even spent a lot of time in the pool today....now if we could only get him to stop drinking the pool water...not only is it gross...but he chokes because it isn't a controlled flow like his sippy.
After swimming the boys dried off a little at the kiddie table under the tent. Check out Mr. Jonah in the background. He was cool, sun protected, and passed out in his carrier the whole time.
Dinner was great! Realize now us adults (minus Nick) must look pretty responsible with our wine glasses AND beers in front of our plates....Happy Fourth!
While the big kids played Wii Fit the boys did a GREAT job at playing together nicely. It is so much fun now that they are both walking and can comprehend some of what we tell them.
The park in Lisa and Patrick's neighborhood (across the street from us) had a great view of the fireworks so we loaded up, pulled down the tailgate, and enjoyed the show.
For it being past Jack's bedtime and him being worn out from playing so hard he did a great job watching his first fireworks show. Can't wait til he can see them in Disney one day.



Jack's in bed, Nick is working on scoring higher than Patrick in every Wii Fit Activity, and I'm off to bed...we have another dinner date tomorrow so we need to rest up. Hope everyone had a great Fourth!
