4th of July Weekend

We spent the July 4th holiday weekend in Abilene with friends and family and had a great time! We spent the day Friday with my mom and grandparents. My friends Christi and Terra also came over to meet Lilly for the first time. It was great to see them and catch up for a little while! Mom also bought the boys an inflatable pool, which they loved! At 9 PM, we had to drag them inside to go to bed!

Saturday was spent in Merkel with Manuel's family. His little sister, Rosalinda, and her family were down from California. They only make it in a couple of times a year, so it was great to be able to spend some time with them. That evening we popped fire crackers. All of the kids had a great time!

I thought this picture was pretty cool. You can see the smoke from the roman candle that Gabe and Manuel were shooting.
