4th of July celebrations!

The rain on Saturday caused us a change of plans! We had planned on meeting Jon and Emily for some swimming and a cook out! We had to forgo the swimming but still got together for grilling, eating, talking, and laughing! To see a recap, click here to see their photos!!

On the actual 4th, we headed to church and then to my parents’ house for lunch. Before church, I made Pioneer Woman’s apple dumplings. These are soooooo good! Ava enjoyed eating some ice cream! She kept saying “mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!” Poor baby was hot from running around like a crazy woman!!      

We got a few poppers for Ava to throw and some sparklers and she enjoyed playing with those! 

Throwing some poppers!

So excited about the noise she made!

It was a really fun day for us all!
