Fourth of July in Virginia

The Huzzard Family took such good care of us and other friends today! I loaded up the children this morning and dropped them off so I could go for my long run of the week....4 miles! Wasn't great, wasn't terrible. It was almost 90 degrees! We let our kiddos play together, fed them lunch, and then it was naptime! The highlight of the morning was talking to John on Skype!! He's doing really well and although we miss him lots, we feel the situation is pretty good considering.

Hailey and Ava in the play Diner.

Jacob emptying water out of the pool.

Our sweet little ones.

It was so cute when Hailey took Ava by the hand and led her to the pool!

Sweet Brynn!

Crowded around a little caterpillar! Didn't think the thing stood a chance, but Benjamin let him go!

Once again in his shark swim shirt!
Pee Pee and a popsicle anyone? Moments before, Mitchell was also reading a book and eating the popsicle on the pot!!! He had his first dry day today!!! YAY!!!
Reading about Independence Day! They also made their own Flag Books! go pam!!

Hailey LOVES her popsicle!

Watching the sparklers!!! It was so cute to see them siting there!
