4th of July

We decided to make a quick trip up to Coeur d'Alene for the 4th of July since Ryan and Tina are there for a little bit.  Here are all the cousins together!

We went to the parade and the Batmobile was there!!!  Even Casey was excited!  But then...

Yes, that's Maia about to be hit by the Batmobile.  She wanted to see Batman and he was on the OTHER side. Luckily Batman has some quick reflexes and stopped before tragedy struck.  But he took off pretty quick after that.  I don't blame him!  

Then we went to the park to wait until dark for fireworks.  The kids had a blast playing, as you can see!

This toy was like an elevated merry-go-round.  Katie Belle lasted one trip while clinging for dear life. (She's in the purple.)  On the other hand, I could hardly get Maia off that thing.  She sat up there F.O.R.E.V.E.R.  I had paired the kids up so no one ran around alone and Luke had Maia.  The poor kid was so bored!

Here we are waiting for the fireworks to start.

They finally did and they were gorgeous!

But since we hadn't had a chance to swim in the lake, we took the kids back the next day to do just that!  
Look at those nerdy kids!
They swam...

they were buried in the sand...

and they had a blast!
