4th of July fun

WE LOVE THE 4TH OF JULY!!!!! We kicked the weekend off early with the last day of swim lessons. The boys loved going to the pool everyday, me too! Ethan is now able to swim really well and Archer is a bit more comfortable with it, he still really hates it when he gets splashed. Friday morning we woke up and went to the parade, it was great, it didn't seem like there was as much advertising going on as in past years. We came home from the parade and took naps or tried to at least. We braved the hot weather and went over to the park where Ethan took a ride on a mechanical bull, it was great, everyone was cheering him on. My brother and his girlfriend surprised us and came, we sat around and talked and jumped on the trampoline (he is pretty nimble for an old guy!!) Eric treated us to hamburgers, corn and various other yummy stuff for dinner and then we had our very own fireworks show.
