July 3rd and 4th

We had a great 4th of July holiday.  It started out on the 3rd.  We went to Seven Peaks in the morning.  Unfortunately, that is the only time we have been this summer and I didn't even take any pictures.  After Seven Peaks we went to my grandparents house for the annual 3rd of July sleepover.
 
The kids had so much riding these atv's all night.
 

David setting up the sound system for the outside movie.  He is seriously amazing.  There isn't much he can't do.  I am so lucky to be able to spend eternity with someone so amazing!
 

Brooklyn's turn on the atv.  She LOVES riding these.
 

Ready for Despicable Me.
 

Nice and Cozy.
 

We ended up not sleeping at my grandparents because we didn't really want to do the whole tent thing.  So we had a sleepover in the living room instead and I am glad we did cause it poured rain!
 
The next morning we started our day at the Pollyanna Fair(I think my family are the only ones who still call it that.  It's really the Sandy Fair).  The first thing we did was wait in line to get Logan's face painted.  He decided to get a cool spider web.

The rest of the time Logan spent his time on the inflatables.
 

Brooklyn played a couple games and went in the bounce house once and then she was done.
 

So she spent her time eating a snow cone and making funny faces.
 

David decided to come join us to eat a turkey leg.
 


After the fair we went home and relaxed for a little bit.  Then we ended the night at Mike and Kate's house for swimming, bbq, and fireworks.  My highlight for the day was when Logan finally swam on his own.  He took lessons from my cousin Jenna for two years, but just acted so afraid to ever swim on his own without a life jacket.  Finally, we told him if he would just try we would take him to Chuck E. Cheese.  He did it.  And then he did it all night.  Now he loves swimming without his life jacket.  He will even jump off the diving board and go down the slide with nothing.  He is one brave kid!

It was so fun to watch him gain confidence and take off!
