Cousin fun!

July 2 & 3
My brother from Missouri came with his family to visit for a few days at the beginning of July.  We had some fun with them playing on the slip-n-slide Tuesday afternoon and then on Wednesday we met up at Bridal Veil Falls to have a picnic lunch and play in the water.  DH was also able to meet up with us for the lunch.  That evening we had some dinner at our house followed by a home fireworks show.

 The water was freezing and some of the girls did not like playing in it for very long.

The water at the falls was FREEZING.  I'm not sure how some of the kids kept their feet in for so long.  The younger kids had a blast throwing rocks into the water and making it splash.  A couple of the kids had a little too strong of a throw though and we almost had a couple of hits - there were a lot of people around...

Sparklers!

Fountains!

MJ was absolutely terrified of the fireworks!  Even when sitting with me with my hands over her ears she was completely freaking out so I finally took her inside and let her watch a movie while we were outside.  Kay on the other hand - after the last fireworks were finished (the aerials) she said that she loved it and the last ones were her favorites!
