Happy 4th of July!

Yes, I am aware that it is almost September. (Remember, I am taking baby steps getting caught up!)

Our neighborhood had it's annual Fourth of July parade. The kids decorated and entered their bikes into the parade. Although they did not win, they had a ball decorating and parading their bikes around. We actually just took off their decorations the other day!
I had the grand idea of attaching cans on strings behind their bikes like you do for newlywed's cars. However, the strings kept getting caught in the spokes.
We had a firetruck escort the parade from the playground to the pool. Cooper liked touring the firetruck! Like the hat? He decorated it for the parade. It was supposed to be an American Eagle, but it looked more like a flamboyant flamingo!
That night, our neighbors had a 4th of July party. There were tons of kids there. The adults had alot of fun, too! Cooper LOVED Scott swinging him around and around.

Guess who wanted in on the action? Caroline weighed a wee bit more than Cooper, so it was very hard to keep her up in the air. Scott barely kept her up in the air! 

We got a new, FAST!! camera! Here are some pictures from Cooper's fun on the diving board. Cooper thought that he was doing a back flip. Below is his rendition of a back flip: 



 Cooper finally gave up and said that doing a back flip hurt his back and neck.
So, he resorted to his normal jump! 
I know that I am skipping around here - bear with me! (This new blog layout is driving me nutty when trying to resituate pictures in certain orders!)

At the party, Cooper headed straight to their sandbox. He LOVES their sandbox! Good thing I had him dressed all cute and all! 
 Notice what he is burying in the sand? Yep, he found a train. 

That weekend, we also went to the lake. Davis had fun eating the watermelon! 
Coop and Grand-Bob playing in the water!
