July 4th

We spent the morning of 4th of July at Lifetime working out and then hitting the pool.  Avery and Ryan got to try out their new goggles - which they both seemed to like. After the kids napped, we headed over to the Carlson's.  Keith decided to do some science experiments since fireworks were banned.  He bought 20 2 liters of soda in various colors and lots of Mentos.  It was quite the hit with the kids and the adults.  We had a great spread of food that consisted of kabobs, corn casserole, and the best baked beans.  And, I made a patriotic dessert and a smore's desert and the kids enjoyed some orange creamsicles.  The kids all got out their motorized vehicles and Avery and Ryan enjoyed catching a ride.  And, Ryan even got to take a spin in the green car and he had the biggest smile on his face. What a fun night! Too bad it was a school night!
