4th of July Week!

Wow, another holiday has come and gone. It seems summer is passing us by all too quickly. We had a busy 4th of July Week - between boating, swimming and birthdays. 

To help get us in the patriotic spirit, the mommy's decided to create our own shirts.
Only the mommy's were involved in the tie-die mess but the kids had a blast watching and seeing their designs unfold:
