4th of JULY

Happy 4th of JULY!

We had a GREAT 4th of July! We spent the weekend in Breckenridge, CO. I fell in love with the place! Spencer did too and cried when it was time to go home on Sunday. He kept saying "I just want to stay at the mountain house." We can't wait to go back.

My Patriotic Boys happily sported the tees their Mama made them.



Spencer checking out our condo, or as he calls it, "The Mountain House." Wouldn't you know they had a spiral stair case! Only one small bloody lip episode and of course it was crazy man Campbell.


The view from our condo. It was a gorgeous weekend.

Downtown Breckenridge. Look at those mountains.

Fun times downtown.

They had lots of things for the kids to do since it was a holiday weekend. Spencer had a blast on the swings and bouncy houses. But, when he knew it was his last time to go down the slide he wouldn't slide. That bad kid just sat at the top. We had to pretend we were going to leave him there and then he slid on down.

Campbell shook the gate like crazy the whole time Spen was on the swing. And the whole time Spen was spinning he was screaming, "Look at me Campbell."

Spen sliding.

Pouting because it was time to go eat.

Campbell was worn out and didn't care that he was showing a little belly fat! Two worn out little men. It was chilly on Saturday. Thankfully we had few blankets with us. We ended up having to buy Campbell a sweat shirt. The one thing I forgot!

Fireworks!

Jake and I put the kids to bed and watched the fireworks right from our balcony. Jake made fun of me all bundled up, but it was cold! Great fireworks, but I wish they were able to make them a little quieter. I mean don't they know I have kids sleeping and I'd like them to stay that way!

Guess who else was in Breckenridge? The Budweiser Clydesdale horses. All 8 of them and they are laRge!!

We had a fabulous time! Unfortunately our ride home, which should have taken about an hour and a half took 5 hours! Holiday traffic plus several wrecks. The kids did pretty good considering.

So, what do you do when you've played with all the toys offered, throw them down, had a snack, finished a beverage, played tug of war with brother, had a quick nap, short screaming session, pulled off your socks and shoes....what's left to do.....

uuhh. ummm. Suck your toes I guess!

Ooops Mama. You weren't suppose to see that!

HAPPY 4th!
