Hayward 4th of July


We didn't get up to Hayward for nearly as long as usual this year for the 4th, but we still managed to fit in a quick long weekend.  We had beautiful weather and the kids had a ton of fun (as usual!!).  We did some new things this year.  One of the fun new things was sparklers!  Here are a few pics of the girls playing with them.
 
Getting ready to get them lit.  Something about this one reminds me of a Charlie's Angels pose!

Mikaiya playing with her first sparkler.  She loved it!

Emily had  a lot of fun too!

Braenna wasn't quite so sure about this yet!

We had fun on the 4th celebrating with everyone in their red, white and blue!  I made themed drinks for the kids and fruit kabobs with bananas, strawberries and blueberries.  They got a kick out of it.  We also went to the annual 4th of July party at Nelson Lake Landing which they really enjoyed again!

All dressed up for the holiday!
 Grampa got the girls a water trampoline this year.  It was another big hit!  They loved it, especially Mikaiya who would jump and jump and jump!

Mikaiya the jumper!

As always, thank you to Grammy and Grampa for letting us spend the weekend up there!  We love it!
