We've been having more water fun and fireworks!

Auntie Ta-Ta taught the kids how to blow water out of the noodles, which they thought was really cool until they realized their lungs weren't quite strong enough to do it.

Both Rory and Max went swimming in their life jackets off the pontoon boat. Seriously one proud Mama over here!

We went to the local casino to watch the fireworks there on the 4th of July.

It was really interesting because they had a tent where you bought fireworks and then you'd go to the grassy area and light them off. No roped off areas, no safety precautions, everyone just lit them up wherever they wanted. It was entertaining as we safely sat in the parking lot. And the casino put on their show after nightfall which trumped anything that we saw beforehand.

And of course we had to get a game of ladder ball in. Mom and Dad came out the champions between Andrea and Taylor, and Dusty and I. We'll get them next time!

And today is another beautiful day, so I'm off to enjoy the sun!
