4th of July weekend

Normally we would have spent our 4th of July up at the cabin in Idaho but this year it was just going to be too much work. The kids are at a hard age where they want to be independant but can't quite handle that responsibility. Last year when Chloë was only 1 she didnt want to run off and do her own thing- Ethan did but its much easier to chase after one than two. Now we have two wild little kids- as much as I don't want to admit it- they really aren't babies anymore! So we opted to stay in town and relax, we walked to the playground on saturday. Swam and BBQ'd and played in the yard on Sunday, then took a quiet drive on Monday. (Another post to come on how we managed to keep the kids quiet) We hope everyone had a great 4th!

Saturday July 3 at the playground.

Ethan and Chloë's first sparklers- they loved all the fireworks!

Monday July 5 we came across a field of cows, there were a bunch of them just standing-and laying- by the road. (Southwest of Tooele)
