4th of July Weekend

Well since our plans to head to Utah were nixed we decided to make the most of it here in Yakima. On Friday we went to a Yakima Bears baseball game.







We had a great time and Sarah even made it on the jumbo screen dancing. It was really cold and we all snuggled up under the blanket! I think Isaac's favorite part was eating the hot dogs at the ball game. Sarah loved when the crowd all started singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game. After the song ended she said, "Again". I should teach her that one, since Isaac knew it at her age.


On Saturday we did some yard work and then let the kids play in the water for awhile. They absolutely loved it. I didn't want to have to go and get Sarah changed so we just let her have fun naked (well with a diaper). The kids played really well together and Sarah kept trying to get Isaac to sit down in the water.







On Sunday evening we went to a friends house for a BBQ. Everything was delicious and Sarah really enjoyed her first try at Smore's. She ate the whole thing without any help! She was an absolute mess when she was done but that's what the sprinklers were for.




On the 4th we had a nice relaxing morning and took the kids to a park to play.


I tried to get a couple pictures of the kids together and this is about as much as Sarah would co-operate! After lunch some friends invited us to their in-laws home for a swimming party and a BBQ. The pool was amazing. They had a huge rock slide (which was a little on the scary side for me) and a fun cliff for the kids to jump off of. Isaac has been a little fish since his 2 sessions of swim lessons and he had no fear of the slide or the cliff. Sarah was a little more reserved, which was just fine for me. The BBQ was great and it was so fun hanging out with a bunch of friends for the holiday. After dinner we decided to head home, relax and put the kids to bed early. We didn't end up going to the fairgrounds to watch the fireworks, but we were able to stand out on our deck and see the fireworks around the valley. It was such a nice and fun day!
