Another month has come and gone - we have had such a fun and laid-back schedule this summer. I know many of you mothers out there would gasp at our 3-year staying up until 10 or 11 and sleeping until 9:00, but most days it works out great for us.
We started off the month by spending an entire week at the lake with our family for the 4th of July. Sitting in the boat and watching the fireworks reflect off the water on the 4th of July is one of my favorite holiday happenings of the entire year. Megan and Addison both also enjoyed them. Thankfully neither of them seem to be bothered by the booms. However Megan's favorite thing to do this year was the colored smoke bombs. I'll post a picture of her below. Fireworks are legal at the lake, so the entire week it sounds like you are living in a warzone once the sun begins to set.
In July, we also spent many hours swimming at my parent's pool since the rain finally stopped and the water heated up. In mid-July, we went to the little Edmond rodeo with Josh, Jen, and Jake. Megan loved watching the horses, but didn't like the rodeo clowns at all. To end the month, we went and stayed at Brooke's house in Southlake, Texas, for several days. We were even able to meet up with my two college roommates who live in the DFW area by spending a day at Amy's house. We had so much fun catching up and letting all of our kids play and get to know each other.
