The Real 4th of July

YAY! The real fourth!

Day time view from E&N's

Before when I said we did a whole little, we did. The 3rd and the 4th we spent in our jammies until we had to go out to the parade and Erin & Nate's house. It was so fantastic.  Since we closed out the condo last week a weight has been lifted.  There are no impending deadlines to meet, things that HAVE to get done, or things that are just looming over our head. Sure we have about 8 boxes that we need to go through and hope to keep only about 4 of them if that, but there is no pressure. We lazed about both days, and just enjoyed each other. The kids probably got more attention than they have had since we moved out last August. That is sad, but it is the truth and we hope to build on that now that we are "settled".
Anyway that is not what you are here to hear about.

We went to Erin & Nate's for fourth of July. They bought a house that over looks the water nearly a year ago, scrapped it, redid it and it was BEAUTIFUL and perfect for fourth of July. There were about 60 of us included 25 kids! WHAT! That's right. 25 kids. So Erin rented a bounce house. Best. Idea. Ever. it kept the kids very entertained practically all night.  The view was great, the people were great and so were the fire works....even though Elijah fell asleep in Aaron's arms, half way through and Lucas fell asleep in my arms about 3 minutes after Elijah. LOL. Oh well, we enjoyed the show for sure!
