July 4th

Pepah and Grandma B came into town yesterday to celebrate July 4th with us before we all head up to Tahoe for the weeek. The kids, Dave and Pepah headed to the park in the morning to burn off some of that crazy baby energy. Laney and Elliot had a great time chasing / being chased by Pepah and playing on the playground.

Laney helped husk corn with Grandma B and we had a great dinner at home. After dinner the kids played outside and ate ice cream cones before we tossed them in the bathtub.

We then put on Laney's and Elliot's pjs and put them in our red wagon to walk down to a friend's house to watch the fireworks. It was perfect. Everyone was out on the streets and the kids loved the party atmosphere, and it was so nice that we didn't have to drive anywhere or fight the crowds.

Expectedly, Laney loved the fireworks-noise and commotion-that's her thing. Unexpectedly, Elliot also enjoyed the fireworks before he got just too tired and snuggled with Dave.

It was a great 4th of July, and we're excited to head up to the lake tomorrow!
