4th of July!

We started the week off right by getting Joe's cast off! He took a few days to even walk on his leg, but I promised him that we could go to Seven Peaks as soon as he could walk on it, and that was motivation enough.  He still walks with a limp, but he's definitely more mobile!
We had a blast at Seven Peaks.  I was a little nervous to take 3 kids all by myself, but it couldn't have gone better!  Clara swims like a fish and it helps that she is now tall enough that the water level never goes about her chest.  Joe wore a puddle jumper (low grade life jacket) and by the end of the day, even he was swimming without me needing to hold on to him.  That meant I could just carry little Jack around in a wrap!

As we were playing in the toy room as family, Clara decided to recreate a scene from ET.  Can you find Jack?
To celebrate the 4th, we had a nice quiet day at home.  We got to sleep in and just hang out as a family all morning.  My brother and his wife came over for an evening BBQ and then we all headed to see the fireworks at Thanksgiving Point.  The problem is that the park we picked to watch them from had a TON of mosquitoes. So we decided to watch the fireworks from our van instead.
Hope you had a wonderful 4th too!
