4th of July Week-end

Nothing says America like baseball so Michael took in 2 Astros games the week-end of the 4th, both when the Red Sox were in town.  Friday night we all went and Saturday night Michael got to go with one of his oldest friend's Will, who was in town for the week-end visiting (along with his sweet sister Emily and his mom, one of my dearest friends).  They had a great time.

My parents came into town for the long week-end and were such a great help.  One of my sweet friends had passed away earlier in the week after a courageous battle with with ovarian cancer, and her funeral was on Saturday.  So Mom and Dad took over with the younger kids while Don, Michael, Trevor and I attended the funeral and helped with some other things for the family.  It was such a blessing to not worry about my kids during everything.  I knew they were in excellent hands - Thank You!!

The 4th of July kicked off with our annual 4th of July Flag Ceremony and breakfast at the church.  Michael and Trevor were involved with their Scout troop in the Flag Ceremony and did a great job.  Afterwards it was a fun breakfast with a few games.  One game included getting signatures of different people at the breakfast who had been to a list of important American places and other fun facts.  Trevor surprised us all and won one of the 3 awards for getting a completed paper first, so he came home with some great candy to share with us!




Happy 4th of July!

 

Loving the donuts!

Enjoying the breakfast with Grandpa

Hayley has been wanting a bike for years, so Grandpa and Grandmommie surprised her with her early birthday present and took her bike shopping.  She was so excited to find a new bike.  Since it has been several years since she had a bike, this is her first bike without training wheels, so Grandpa and Dad spent some time out in the 100+degree weather teaching her to ride.  Grandpa also fixed up Michael's old bike and spent some time working with Trevor before hitting the road to return home.  Thanks for the great week-end!
