Fourth of July

We had a great 4th of July weekend with great weather! Merrick had half of Friday and all Monday off so we had lots of fun on the long weekend. Avery got a big girl Princess bike and helmet for her birthday and she is quickly becoming a pro bike-rider!
On Friday we went to see Toy Story 3 as a family and we loved it. We're big Toy Story fans in our house and so the kids were both pretty great during the movie. There were a couple times when I thought Camryn had fallen asleep because she was so still and riveted on my lap during some parts! On Saturday we test drove some minivans in the morning and then while Camryn napped in the afternoon, Merrick and Avery got out the slip n slide and had a blast!
It so was funny to watch them together! On Saturday night we went to the fireworks in Menomonee Falls. We didn't really know where the fireworks were going to be coming from exactly, so we just picked an empty spot and waited for them to start. When it got dark, the first firework went off and we were right in front of them, which was great! We got some cool pics.

The kids loved them, especially the Grand Finale of course. Here's a cool picture of Camy watching them.
On Sunday we went to a friends house for a BBQ and on Monday we just stayed home and played. It was a nice long weekend!
