4th of July!!

I know, I know, I am always behind on my blogging!! We had a great 4th of July weekend, especially with the finalization on the 3rd, it was the best way we could have ever started off our weekend!! After the finalization we packed up our car and went with Travis and Kassie and our adorable nieces to Appleton Lake to take the boys camping for the first time. You have to book your spot months in advance so we were planning on staying until Sunday morning, and you know how things happen, and we just stayed Thursday night and left Friday afternoon. We wanted to be able to light off fireworks and see the fireworks our apartment complex lights off. They are great, we don't have to travel anywhere to see a good show, they just come to us, seriously the complex does a great job. Since this is only the second time we have ever been in a state since we've been married that allows us to light off fireworks, so it's pretty exciting to us!



Camping was a lot of fun, the boys did so well, they stayed up until 10:00, which is so good for them, they are usually beat by 8:00 and don't last much longer than that. But anytime they are around their cousins they can't help but be entertained, so I know that helped. They seemed to really enjoy being outdoors. Gavin had a hard time because he pushes himself forward when he sleeps and he kept pushing himself off the blanket and mat he was sleeping on so Jordan held him while he slept, while we sat around the fire and I think he would have slept fine if our air mattress hadn't of deflated on us (he was sleeping with us) which was way uncomfortable for me so I am sure it was for him. so he did wake up a few times through the night, but did a pretty good job of going right back to sleep with a few pats on his back. Ayden did so well and slept through the night sleeping next to us on a mat and a few blankets, Ayden has always been the better sleeper though except during his naps. Next time we'll make sure our air mattress is ready for the trip! When we got back we had a little BBQ in our back yard and did the whole firework thing with our family!! It was a great weekend!
