    I took the kids. We played hard and explored and got sun burns. Lots of things were broken but we had a good time. The Wave Pool was our favorite for the first time ever!

    I took a few of the kids to the pond to test it out! We watched a ton of soccer with the Women’s World Cup and the Men’s Gold Cup and MLS. And 8 year old Rose fits into her 4 year old brothers clothes!!!

    We were going to go to the pond but it was packed so we came home to swim and chill! We had a blast in the backyard pool and playing Spyder Pong and trying Pickle Pops!

    At Dinner time we went to Matt and Jamie’s house for a barbeque and then we went to the school for a wiffle ball tournament. And then to our house to watch the Fireworks and learn the Git Up! We danced until late and had a great night with family celebrating our country and our freedom!

    This guys birthday was on a Saturday this year so we got up and opened presents. He got a board game, a book series, a lego, a video game, Sling Ball and Spyder Pong!

    After presents the kids stayed home to play and Ben and I went to help Joel and Megan move! We got home in the afternoon and tried to play all of Benji’s new stuff!!

    Then in the evening Ben took the kids to Costa Vida and then to the RSL game! And of course milk shakes on the way home :). We can’t believe that we have a 14 year old! Benji is such a good kid. He is a peacemaker and is fun to chat with and play games with and “argue” with. Happy Birthday Benj!!!
