4th of July

Our house is on the right, hidden just past the trees.

It was so hot!

Bryce kept trying to eat the streamers so we had to remove most of them!

Mmmm...watermelon!

Water!

Grant wasn't so sure about being under there.

Relaxing after a busy week

We love our new neighborhood!  On the 4th, there was a parade for the kids, where we decorated the bikes and strollers, and walked down the street following the fire truck and police cars.  we ended down in the private drive off the cul-de-sac, where the fire truck stopped and turned on the hose on top of the ladder for the kids.  One of the houses hosting it had hot dogs, snacks, cookies, drinks, etc. for everyone as well.  It was such a blast!  We were able to meet a lot more neighbors that we hadn't met yet, and the neatest thing is that we discovered there are 3 other boys on the street that were all also born in April of 2010 like Grant!  What are the chances of that?!  There seem to be a few other ones around that may be good playmates for Bryce as well someday.   Of course it was super hot, but we had so much fun being a part of an event like this, and it proved to us even more that we made the right decision in moving here!  We celebrated at other family parties and friends' parties the rest of the week, and we are spending today, the hottest day of the year, inside trying to rest it all off.  Hopefully it will cool down soon!
