4th of July Weekend

We had a very busy weekend. On Saturday Grandma Smith and Grandma Connie came up to spend the day with us. We went to the zoo and rode the camel and fed the giraffes. Grandma Connie also brought Kayla her very own Jeep. It didn't take her long to figure out how to drive it. She will have lots of fun with it. We grilled out for dinner before they left. Thanks for coming to see us Grandmas!

On Sunday we went out to the lake with the Hubers. It was kinda rainy out but we still had fun. Luckily it cleared off later that night and we went out to Prairie Meadows (along with the rest of DSM) to watch fireworks. We didn't get there in time to watch the horse races and Kayla was very sad :(

Monday was a perfect day for boating so we went out again after we went to the parade that morning in Norwalk with Zach and Shae. Kayla got scared every time a firetruck went by and put it's sirens on. She would run behind me and hide. Forget the candy, she didn't care!

The last few pictures are from Kayla's friend Lauren's birthday party we went to last week. The kids had the place all to themselves and had lots of fun running around and eating cupcakes.

We are all worn out and getting ready for bed. Not looking forward to having to work in the AM.... a day to just relax would be nice!

Nighty night...
