Fun at Celebrate Freedom

Our July 4th has been quite the celebration with lots of family. We were invited to the Pizza Hut park Verizon Club for Celebrate Freedom for a dinner buffet, which we enjoyed while under a severe thunderstorm warning. They canceled the concerts and fireworks, while packing the whole stadium in this room that exceeded the fire code. We still enjoyed the dinner with Ben and Sarah and the comedian from the middle east (pretty funny). The comedian did his show about life in America as himself post 911.

On July 4th, we spent the day at the Pedersons for BBQ and swimming. We had so much fun! The kids were so exhausted when we got home, they went straight to bed for the night.

Jackson spent an evening with Uncle Stephen fishing at the ponds by our house. He loved being with Stephen and watching and helping him catch a lot of fish with worms. He's such a boy!

Finally, on Saturday night, Ben, Sarah, Stephen and our cousins Joel, Jennifer and Baby Ayden came over for some dinner and to hang out.
