4th of July (and the weekend)

Our 4th of July was spectacular! We had a wonderful morning at the annual Atwater parade and craft fair.  It was a very hot day 108.  Thank goodness the parade was in the morning and we had a great shady spot.

 We were excited to have Nana, Papa and Uncle Scott (we missed you Titi!) over for a BBQ.  We beat the heat by making homemade strawberry ice cream.  It was so yummy!!! 

 Aubrey made a fun Independence Day bingo game.

 Family!!

 Spencer put on a fabulous fire work show for us.

 Mr. Carter was so brave to hold a sparkler.

 4th of July was on a Thursday this year so Spencer took Friday off and we headed up to the bay area for the Supinger side party.  Friday we worked it out for 2 of the cousins to come over for a movie and a sleep over.  We saw the new Despicable Me 2 in the theaters it was fun!

 Sleep over time!

 Playing in Grandma and Grandpa's beautiful spa.

 We got to celebrate Carter and Ben's birthday at the party.

 After the party we headed over to Titi's for a slumber party.

 The next day we decided it would be fun to be tourist in San Fransisco.  This was Carter's first time on BART he loved it.

 Exploring the huge Disney store.

 Enjoying lunch at my favorite, Cheese Cake Factory on the roof top of Macy's.

 It was perfect weather that day! We enjoyed an outdoor carnival show in Union Square after lunch.  While eating we noticed that the St. Francis hotel had 4 outside elevators that went very high.  We thought we should go check it out and see the views.  When we got there we found out we needed a room key so we ended up waiting by the elevators in hopes of people going up high.  We road the elevators probably 10 times and I think the highest we got up to was floor 20 it was a fun activity.  The kids loved it!

Great day! Fun holiday and weekend! We love our families!!
