Happy 4th of July

OK, so we are way far behind on this & somehow we got out of order...the 2nd session of swim lessons started after the 4th of July weekend. Oh well.

Alexis & Mommy went to Great-Grandma "Pete's" house for lunch on the 4th. Sammi & Daddy stayed home and took a nap. We knew we would be up late & without a nap Sammi would have been way too tired.

We celebrated Steve's birthday that day. Happy Birthday, Uncle Steve!
That evening, we headed to Aunt Kathy's and Uncle Matt's for a huge 4th of July party. Sparklers were our favorite part! Well, until Sammi burnt her finger on one. We were down by the water when it happened and Alexis took off up to the house. She went and found Kathy (even though Papa Bob & Grandma Kris were right there) and told her that Sammi was on fire and that she needed some ice- thank goodness no one freaked out when they heard this news. What a great big sister, looking out for Sammi like that! Everyone around the lake were setting off fire works. What a show!
