Happy 4th of July!

Nelson with his cousins Noah and Sadie(Gabe wouldn't get in the picture) Nelson doing his favorite thing, Playing in the Water!
Nelson throwing snaps. He was a little crazy with them you never knew which way he was going to throw them.

We had a fun filled 4th of July. Our day started off with us going to my grandpa's to eat breakfast and to watch the parade. Nelson didn't really understand the whole picking up candy thing and putting it into his bag at first but, towards the end he kind-of got it. The parade was way to long and we all got bored with it by the end. After the parade we went to my parents house to let the kids swim and play.( We all think its a lot better then going up to the park and waiting in long lines with grumpy kids) It was as layed back as it could get considering my mom still had family out from the reunion so it was a packed house. The adults even got to play a little. My dad bought a new game called speed mitten or something like that. It is pretty fun to play. The kids all had a blast playing in the water and trying to get the adults wet with their squirt guns. Then that night we headed back over to my grandpa's and did our little fireworks and then watched the big city ones from his house. Nelson loved the fireworks and would clap and cheer after each one. We were all tired by the end of the day but, I think we all had a good time. Happy 4th Of July!
