We started the 4th of July long weekend off with Sparklers!!
Salem Street in downtown Apex closed to host the "Olde Fashioned Fourth of July" celebration. Just like last year, it was to be a HOT day - so we got there early to get a head start on the bounce houses!

Look at that face of pure joy!!
We bumped in to some friends and Brock was able to race his buddy Brady in the obstacle course!
Hey there! How did you guys switch sides?!?
A rainbow spider for Kade!
And a red wolf's paw for Brock! (NC STATE!!!)
The boys took turns playing some carnival games.
Then it was water slide time!! (And goodbye water-based $3 face-paintings - HA!)
Toss the bean bag at the thief, compliments of the Apex Police Department. Haha!
By 10AM, we were done and happy and headed back to our pool to cool down.
What a delicious American dinner - cheeseburgers! This was Kade's first time eating an entire cheeseburger the "big boy" way.
We thought about venturing to Koka Booth to see the fireworks, but when the bottom fell out from the sky about 5pm, we knew we made the good choice to stay home! Mini-fireworks in our driveway and waited for some neighbors to light the real ones up when it got dark.
Brent decided Moose should come out and see what all the fuss was about so he wouldn't be scared/anxious/angry. I still think he was very angry about the noise and wanted to destroy them!
A very successful 4th of July! :)
And this was how I found the boys the following morning! Brock was reading books to Kade. (Every now and then there's a moment!)
A very happy 5th of July as Brent and I sent the boys back to camp/preschool and took our one day per year Adult-Only Boating Day on Jordan Lake. I even got a lesson in backing the trailer down the ramp! Brent gave me a C+. Yeah..... it's a lot harder than it looks!!
