July 4th Fun!

Chris had the day off, so we got to spend some time as a family having fun! 

After spending some time with Grandma Lela & Grandpa Dave, we went to Oyster Creek Park in Sugar Land to their Red, White & Blue Fest.  We watched a cowboy do some trick roping, some cultural dancers and ran around in the grass.  Okay, the boys ran around while mom & dad watched.

They had a Foam Fun Area set up for the kiddos to play in and the boys had a hard time waiting their turn!  Once they got to go in, they had a blast!  Since Michael is under 5, Chris had to go in with him (Rachael had the backpack and all the stuff from Chris' pockets that he didn't want to get wet), but he had a good time as well.

After drying off and changing the boys' clothes (we checked the park's website for information and saw that last year they had the Foam Area so we decided to take a change of clothes for the boys in case they had it set up this year), the boys played a couple of the carnival type games that were set up.  They also got tattoos: David got a sprayed on dragon and Michael got a rub-on elephant. 

We left after about 2 hours to go eat dinner at Whataburger down the road and meet up with some friends.  We set up 'camp' in a grassy area near Whataburger to watch the fireworks.  Everyone had a fun time.

It's hard to smile when you have cucumber slices in your mouth!

Even Daddy is having fun, sporting a new skull cap Mama made!

The Foam was bigger than the boys in some places!

We had fun!  Mama says it is time to clean up now....
