4th of July

This year, on the 4th of July, we only had one kid.  It was weird having a holiday with all of our crazy kids.  But the girls were having fun with Nana & Grandpa in Omaha.  While they were gone, we really got to have some fun with Dani as an only child.  She is a funny little girl.  And very polite and well behaved when she doesn't have to fight for attention or control!  It was fun going out and doing things with her.  I have to admit, it was easy with one.  I missed all of my girls, but had fun with Dani.

On the 4th, we did our annual kids bike parade with our neighborhood.  Then we went to the pool at Ivory Ridge.  The night before we went up to Bountiful and watched their fireworks, so we just stayed in and watched fireworks from our back on the 4th.

In Omaha, at my Grandma Rosenthal's house, visiting. This was taken when the girls were there by themselves.

The next week Dani and I made the drive to Omaha to pick the girls up.  We stayed a few days so Dani could play with Nana & Grandpa too.  And I got to visit with family, and we took the girls to the zoo.  Then we made the long drive home.  With week we were in the cruse, and then the week the girls were gone by themselves, and then the week I took to get the girls, it was 3 week before Ben was able to see the girls.  But we made it home safe.  Gabby and Charley asked if we could make going to Nana's house a tradition?!  Charley went by herself last summer, and Gabby said she was old enough this summer.  I was worried about her, but she did great.  And they had a blast!  Now summer is almost over....1 more month before schools starts!
