We decided to hang out in our new house for fourth of July this year. We figured a 30 minute drive home at 10 or 11 at night was not going to be fun, and we just wanted to be home. The day before we worked out plans for my friend Cindus to come over to hang out with us too. We ended up with her fun blow up toys, way too much food and of course lots of fireworks. It was actually a really fun day! They came over about four and stayed until 11. We ended up with Cindus, her son Trenton, her boyfriend (Brian) and his two kids (Riley and Tyler) and Cindus's mom (Judy). We hung out in the backyard munching and playing on all the toys until about 8. The neighbors had music playing, the sound of fireworks was everywhere... it was a blast. Carson had a rough time from the moments the fireworks started. There were a lot of big booms and he does NOT like those. He really struggles with the loud noises,we spent the evening trying out different ear plugs/ear muff combinations and going in and out of the house, bouncing between Mommy and Daddy. Poor guy.

Look at him fly!
Hang time!
The pool looks a lot smaller than I remember it. I guess they've had two years of growing since we last used it...
The adults were having fun trying to use the slide... It was a challenge!

At around 8 we took off to the front for fireworks... the camera died shortly thereafter.
On a side note: I met Cindus at new teacher orientation in 2005. We were great friends until shortly after I had Kayda, then life got busy. We randomly touched base with each other over the next couple of years then lost touch completely. Then we move. We ran into each other at Herfy's (yum) and low and behold she and her mom live a couple of blocks away. One of those things that makes me glad we moved here.
