Happy 4th from Kansas!

We had the best day today!! I wasn't sure how our first holiday away would be, especially since we just moved here 2 weeks ago but we had a packed day and everyone had a great time! The day started with a neighborhood bike/scooter/stroller parade from the elementary school
Down to the pool. We decorated Addy's bike and she thought it was fun stuff! Then we had burgers down at the pool, compliments of the HOA! Nice! We all swam for a few hours and all had a very fun time. There are so many kids and nice families here! Addyson ran around with a bunch of girls all day. It's so nice that she can swim now and she just has the best time swimming! Ben keeps up best he can too!

After swimming we came home for a few hours to rest and then headed next door at 5 for dinner at our neighbor's house. We cooked out and there were 8 kids there. Everyone played great, ate dinner and had a fun time. Being over there at one point felt like we had known Heather and Troy for years. The kids play like they are old friends and we get along great with them. They really have been such a blessing to us as we are getting settled in. They had another couple over as well and so it was nice meeting some other people as well.

Around 9 we headed out to watch fireworks. Kids loved it and we had a great 4th! I am so appreciative to all of our service men and women who dedicate their lives to serving our country.

Hope you all had a great 4th as well!
