4th of July and More

There's a small library about 4 miles down the street that offers some neat activities for kids during the summer. They had a pet show the other day where kids could bring in their pets and show them off to each other. Although we did not take Sparky, Aiden had fun seeing the other pets! Bonus: there is a park right next to the library!

My niece Alexa plays t-ball. We went to one of her games to watch her play. I take that back - Bryan and I watched her play, Aiden was more interested in the playground!

The elk across the street finally had their babies. Aiden and I have been checking all the time and it finally happened! They have spots just like baby deer and are so adorable!

Unfortunately Bryan had to work on the 4th of July but Aiden, Gavin, and I went to a cookout with my family, did some small fireworks there, and then went to the "real" fireworks. I know some of you city-slickers think that us country folk are hillbillies but I tell you us hillbillies have better fireworks than you city-slickers! They had hayrides, FREE glow necklaces, FREE sparklers, and more! It was a ton of fun. The actual fireworks are about an hour long - it's amazing! Aiden liked it for about 20 minutes and then his short attention span kicked in. Gavin, surprisingly, just watched them for about 30 minutes and then fell asleep in my arms. I was worried that the loud noise would scare him but he didn't seem to care!

Silly string...

Gavin is getting so big and is able to do so much more. He is getting really good at grabbing toys and loves to watch what is going on around him. We just started putting him in the exersaucer. He doesn't really do much in it yet but loves to be able to sit up and see what's happening.
