Fence Time

It's done, we broke down and got a fence. We are loving it so far. It allows the kids to run wild and lets us relax a little rather than chasing them every second begging them to stay in their own yard. The whole yard smells of cedar too! We've been out playing in it ever since. It only took 3 total days from start to finish. I think I'm going to enjoy the rest of the summer a bit more now, and I know Hannah, Josh, and Ryan will.

Fourth of July!

For the first time we decided to go to Aurora's downtown Fourth of July parade. Our neighbor had said he was taking his family there to try it too and that gave us the idea. It was very nice, easy to park, and easy to get out when we were ready to leave. The kids had a fun time watching bands, jugglers, clowns, and firetrucks. They got flags, freeze pops, and waters too! That's all they need to keep them busy! The weather was beautiful again and Hannah, Ryan, and Josh were dressed in their red, white, and blue.

Later, we let Hannah stay up to watch the fireworks in our neighborhood. She really only like the idea of them, not the noise! She sat in her little chair outside covering her ears! That's our Han!
