Independence Day


We had a wonderful 4th of July.  We went over to our friends parents house which has a huge  backyard and pool for the kids.  They even rented a bounce house, they are so sweet and generous!  The kids were able to play with their friends, swim all day, play on the playground and bounce in the bounce house.  It was a perfect day with some precious friends!

Cooper likes the water, but he is still getting used to being in a pool.
Kinsley on the other hand is fearless and LOVES the water.  
This is the spa and if you can see in the background of the picture there is a playground and a basketball court.  This is all part of their backyard.  It is every child's dream backyard!
I love Cooper's smile in this picture!  Look at how blond he is!!  So yummy!
I love this picture of Chris and Kinsley.  She loves her daddy so much!!!
After the pool day we went over to some other friends house, which has a perfect view of the fireworks.  Before the big fireworks, Rusty Brooke brought some of his own that he lit up on the street.  The kids were loving it (obviously)!
Not too bad huh???
Kinsley wasn't so sure about the sparkler.
Then she really started to love it, until she burned her finger.  Poor thing.  
Getting ready to watch the fireworks.
No, this was NOT posed.  Doesn't it look like they are on a date?  They watched the fireworks like that for awhile.  UMMM, aren't they a little too young for this?  Chris was asking Kinsley's friend what "his intentions for his daughter" were.  It was hilarious.  Chris is a very sweet yet protective daddy!  
My men!
We even made smores on the driveway after the fireworks.  It was the perfect ending to a fantastic day!
Thank you Lord for our freedom!  We love you all!!
