Water Fight and Bubbles

As usual, I'm avoiding the things I should be doing, so here are more pictures from last weekend.

Lois bought some water guns for the kids (and big *kids*) to play with since EskDale no longer has a pool and you need some way to cool off in the heat.

Ella was concerned about what this meant.

There were also plenty of bubbles, which is always a kid favorite.

Jordynne about to get in trouble.

She squirted her dad....

and we'll just say she lost the battle.

☺

The face Ella was making, cracked me up.

Aidan especially liked the rides on the rhino.

Ella and Ahava

Ahava is mom's latest rescue kitty.

She likes Ella,

err...Ella's toys

It's pretty cute to watch them play, although you gotta watch out for both of them swatting at each other. ☺

Independence Day Celebration

A beautiful day!

Nope, the grass hasn't been installed yet. ☺

Phillip and Michael

The *hamburger people* happy that there is no line anymore.

Drew and Jay-jay wrestling in the grass

Ice cream!

The grilling masters

Corbin singing Star Spangled Banner

John Paul playing the piano

Emily singing

Dad playing the trombone

The fiddle group

Break on through

Cindy playing the piano

I just liked the stage and lighting

Choir singing God Bless America

Battle Hymn of the Republic

John singing Some Enchanted Evening

Brianna

Jessica and Nakia dancing Nothing Else Matters

John Paul and Corbin singing, and I just thought the lighting was cool.

(My favorite song of the night! JP and Corbin did a great job.)

Fireworks!

Strangely enough, Ella loved the fireworks and they didn't bother her at all, Aidan was scared and Kenneth sat in the truck with him.
