4th of July Fun

We had a jam packed, fun filled 4th of July weekend. The fun started off with David and I taking the boys to see Ice Age 3, Dawn of the Dinosaurs on Friday. They enjoyed the movie. Later Friday night, we had some friends over to play, eat cupcakes and go to see the Edgerton Fireworks. The boys had fun playing with their friends, and watching people shoot of fireworks in their yard. They weren't as excited about watching the big display down by the lake. The fact that it was way past their bedtime, probably had nothing to do with that.

Our fun on Saturday day began with a visit to the Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop and Historic Farm. While visiting we got to play historic 19th century games, make some cookies, churn some butter and take a stagecoach ride. Pictured above is Thomas riding with mom and Michael riding with Dad. After our stagecoach ride we went to a local park and hand a picnic lunch and played with our friends. Before heading home we made a stop at Bass Pro Shop, where we made a bird house and got these pictures taken.

After a nap at home, we went down the street for a 4th of July BBQ and to watch people shoot off fireworks, we even did a few of our own, as seen below.

After that busy Saturday we were very happy to relax at home and not have too much to do.
