Fourth of July Weekend


Because the 4th of July was on a Saturday, Josh got Friday off and we were able to celebrate the holiday over two days.  Friday we went to Hunter's Family Farm for Sunflowers and Baseball and then to Lake Lanier for a picnic.  
Publix subs are a favorite at our house. 



Everything always turns into a competition at our house.  They were seeing who could get their rocks the furthest.  At first they were skipping rocks, but it turned into throwing them the farthest.  



McKay is always making us laugh.
Taking some patriotic pictures.









4th of July morning we had patriotic pancakes for breakfast.


During the day we played basketball with the Petersons and then traded kids for a couple of hours.  We smoked steak for dinner and then went to our neighborhood firework show.  Palmer had to work at Chick Fil A for a few hours, but we got him back for fireworks and S'mores.
During the fireworks, these two just read their books.  They have been super into the series' they both are reading.  
We stayed up super late singing and roasting S'mores.  I love that my boys can play the guitar now.



McKay heard a joke that people were leaving out cookies for Captain America.  Of course he had to do it.  The next day when nothing had happened to the cookies he told me he was sad about it.  I said "McKay, you know that Captain America isn't real right?"  He said he did, but it would have made him happy if Dad had taken a bite out of the cookies anyway.  The next night he did...

Hunter's Farm Sunflowers

The Simpsons and Hunters from our Milton ward planted sunflowers and invited the public to come and see them and some vintage trucks.  We decided to go and had a great time!  





The boys humored me with the pictures and then spent the rest of the time on the baseball diamond.  They didn't even care that it was the middle of the day in super hot weather.  I thing these boys can have fun anywhere.

Boating

We were invited to go boating with a family in our ward (the Norr's).  Palmer had to work (he worked a lot this summer), so he wasn't there.  

The boys liked to be pulled behind the boat.  It seemed horrible to me, but they thought it was fun.



Brother Norr tried hard to flip these boys, but they stayed on.
