Happy Fourth of July!

Yeah, according to Walter July came! The kids have had a good couple of days. Yesterday we went to the park to watch the fireworks, they where in awe. At first Rose E was scared but then liked them. Every time we watch them I think of Walter's second (he was 1and a half) 3rd of July when he was fascinated by them and made-up his own sign for firework, I reminsced with Walter about it and we taught Rose E his sign.
The kids where of course in the glory today too. They loved watching the parade, getting candy and of course being with their cousins along with other family. (I included a picure of the kids with their cousins, all wearing matching shirts for the 4th, courtsey of Jeff's parents). Even though our road is still under construction we where glad that the parade went on as usual as for we have a prime spot here! After the parade and lunch at our house we all went out to the camp for a beautiful evening, it was fun and Jeff's Grandpa's brother's son, Wally and his wife Pat, where up for a visit.
Oh and I had to laugh about Walter and his bug bites, so dramatic! This morning he woke-up and said "mama I have terrible bug bites" then this evening he said "the bugs bit me on my scales (I thought what in the world is he talking about and he showed me a scab ) then he said "the mosquitoes said mmm Walter taste delicious." What a goof! Rose E also had a fly buzzing around her and signed is that a bird?
