We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend this year. We have been hosting the Sup family 4th of July for the last 5 years. The whole family decided to switch things up this year so we had Easter and Brian and family (which are in Stockton) had 4th of July. It has been nice to celebrate different events at different houses this year. The party was on Saturday and it started with the kids playing outside on the slip in slide and kiddie pool. We had an awesome bbq for lunch/dinner.
They have a big community pool within walking distance that the kids took turns playing at. We also had lots of great family quality time through out the day.
Another change this year is how we do birthdays. In the past we would buy birthday gifts for everyone and celebrate at all the different holidays. This year we drew families and bought one big family gift. We got Adam's family and what they really wanted was gift cards to restaurants so that is what we did and I also made them this menu tile for their kitchen. It was fun seeing all the ideas everyone came up with. We are excited to use our Costco card that we got.
After cake we all packed up and went to the Stockton Ports baseball game. It was so much fun and a wonderful idea. The kids and the grown up all had a blast. They had an amazing firework show that night.
After our Sup celebration on Saturday we had fun celebrating as our family of four the following two days. We enjoyed some bbq from Big Bubba's Bad BBQ (Aubrey's favorite!), lots of swimming, shopping, Atwaters 4th of July celebration, and our own mini firework show.
Happy 4th of July!
