4th of July Fun!

We had a nice, relaxing 4th of July week. Alex decided to take the week off, so we had tons of quality family time. We started off the week with some yard work. Not fun, but it was necessary. The rest of the week was spent with good friends, good food, and some good old fashion competition.

 I play Toss Across like a boss!

Toss that bag, son!

Noah stifles a laugh at Dad's poor throwing performance. 

Yeah, I rocked this game like nobody's business. And since this is my blog, there's no one else to dispute that fact. So there.

We also headed to the movies to see Despicable Me 2, followed by lunch at Red Robin. 

We brought out the cards. Go fish, or go home, boys! I'm not going to lie. I suffered a humiliating defeat. 

Is that the face of a card shark? Hell yeah! Don't be fooled. 

We also spent time with our friends. It's great to have another family who gets us. No worrying about the kids making sound effects or being their unique selves. We were all able to just hang out and enjoy each others company. And the food was awesome too. They had a bubble machine going, and the day quickly earned the nickname "the bubble party."

We followed up the week by meeting our friends at the pool. I love weeks like this. Just simple, fun time with each other. Ahhh. Life is good.
