Family, Friends, Frogs, Fireflies, Fellowship, Fireworks = FUN

Our summer continues...
Grandma Cookie and Grandpa Don (Miles' mom and stepdad) came to visit for a few days. This was the first time they met Andrew and Lincoln. And it was the first time that they really got to bond with Syd and Davis.


While Sydni and Grandma had some girly time together, Davis and Grandpa did some boy bonding (that is where the frogs part of the title comes from).
We went to the zoo of course, Lincoln's 3rd time already!
Oh yeah, and after the last blog about Lincoln's sleeping habits he changed... he now sleeps in his crib for naps too!


We spent time playing games, shopping, playing and exploring outside, & catching fireflies. We had a great visit and look forward to more of them since Mom & Don now live only 8 hrs away!!
On July 3rd, after grandma and grandpa left, we didn't slow down. It was the annual WI drive-in night and the celebration of 3 birthdays. We all crashed about 11:30pm and headed home to our beds to rest before another busy day!
4th of July was great fun for the whole family. Our friend Ms. Pat came over for dinner... BBQ!


Then of course came the fireworks. Some friends who are missionaries with WI came to join in the fun, Ryan, Amber, & Ben (who is one month younger than Lincoln), and they brought Amber's sister and mom with them.
Miles and Ryan couldn't wait for it to get dark - they thoroughly enjoyed their "manly" (not to mention loud) fireworks!

This is a picture taken after Miles lit a firework and said "RUN!"
Some other WI staff joined us but it was already too dark for pictures. What a great time of fun and fellowship!

I don't mind being a feature in your blog, but can't you make me look a little better :) What was I doing?

How fun! I remember going to the Wichita Zoo when my grandparents came to visit us while we still lived in Kansas! What fun. Thanks for all the photos
