Fun Summer Weekend

The weather was nice and warm for the long, holiday weekend...it's about time! I feel like summer has finally begun. We took full advantage of the sunshine, spending lots of time in the yard, a movie and of course, fireworks!

On Saturday, we took the kids to the DRIVE-IN to see Cars 2. We had to get there really early to get a good spot and some some time to kill. Thank you, iPhone, for providing entertainment for our 6 year old :)

Popcorn is also a good distraction

Happy boy, with ketchup on his face

Sun starting to set = almost movie time!

Sunday was a family day at home and Monday was a celebration day! We spent the day at my parents' house where there was lots of food (I'm still full), games, family & friends and FIREWORKS!

Football...

Cousins & friends...

The Lemonade Flag Cake made an appearance, in a much larger fashion...

And our good friend, Kaitlin, made these beautiful S'mores Bars...yummers!

Sparklers!

My husband and brother in-law put on an awesome fireworks show...

And then we watched the neighbors' display...

The neighbor does a huge show every year and it's, literally, in my parents' back yard. No crowds to fight. No hard-to-find parking. It's a lot of fun! We look forward to it every year and are so grateful to my parents for letting us all come out there to celebrate.

I hope you had a great weekend!
