More Festivities!

On the actual Independence Day we headed out of town to Jared's aunt and uncle's house. 

There were ants around their place. One of them really liked Anna. I don't think she felt the same way.

The kids and Jared got to enjoy slip n' sliding. 

The neighbors have a horses, so we didn't see the kids much.

The horses were well fed.

I think they really liked our kids because they sure ate a lot of grass.

There was a lot of room to run.

That's Toby. He's a mini. Isn't he adorable?

If there's a fire in the fire pit, I think it's a given that marshmallows must be roasted.

Rebecca was concentrating really hard, so that she could get some perfectly roasted marshmallows.

Here's the end result to all that roasting. 

Mike's using his roasting skills to teach Rachel how to get the perfect marshmallows. I think it was a success.

This little girl just had to smile and a s'mores was hers.

And this little girl was the entertainment.

This guy got all the leftovers.

Is that just the coolest fire pit you've ever seen?

Mike and Laurel, we might just have to move in with you. The kids keep talking about Candy and Toby and the big huge yard!
