4th of July

We spent Independence Day in Reno this year. It was nice to get away from the heat and the boys had so much fun at grandma and grandpa's house.

We started with a yummy breakfast of homemade cinnamon rolls and the boys also helped make yogurt parfaits for everyone.

After breakfast we watched the summerlin parade commercial which was lame and a huge disappointment but then went for a nice walk along the river which made up for it.

Then we had lunch and the boys finally got to go outside and play in the pool which is what they had been begging to do all day long! They also played with bubbles.

When we'd had enough sun we came inside for some quiet time which for the boys meant watching Toy Story 3 and making collars for their puppies out of beads.

While we made dinner the boys helped make a fruit pizza in the shape of a flag. They did a good job! All of the food for dinner was super yummy!

We ended our day with some simple fireworks. Just a couple flowers and some sparklers. Dan loved them and Liam mostly just watched from inside but he did come out for a minute and did one sparkler.
