4th of July Weekend

So we spent the 4th of July at Grandma and Grandpa O'Bryant's with Alyssa's brother Steve, his fiancée Wendy, and Jenesee. It was a lot of pool time, BBQ-ing and the game Ticket to Ride. This game is quickly replacing Settlers for us. Check it out:

Jace learned to swim without floaties. He jumped in and forgot he didn’t have his floaties on and there was no looking back. Before we knew it he was jumping off of the rocks, swimming in the deep end, and swimming with his head under water.

Ella has decided that she does not like to be in the water at all, but enjoys lounging around the pool with her mom and eating popsicles and occasionally throws out a nice little dance move, as seen below!

We have had some technical difficulties with our digital camera as of late. So all credit for the great pictures below goes to Steve. Thanks Steve!

A game to replace Settlers?!?! Wow, have to check that out. (But we still have to finish out our Settlers final four championship.)

Glad to hear you had a good 4th.
