Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!! We spent ours in Canton, KS and Abilene, KS. When we drove up to my mom's house, they had their flag hanging over the porch. The flag was given to Jack(my stepdad here w/ my mom) at his dad's funeral. We thought that it would serve as a great back drop!!
While we were outside, we decided to go for a walk "downtown". They live in a town of 800 people, so downtown is a block away and runs an entire 2 blocks. Huge, I know. They put these buffalo statues out in the last couple of years, so we decided to put them to work. Neither of the kids really cared to sit on them, Emily especially, but they did a good job taking pictures with them. :)
The kids loved swinging on the porch swing at gra and pop's house.
Aiden enjoyed playing in the "kitchen" in Alyssa's room. 
We also went to Abilene to see my sisters and the cousins. Emily loves to play with her cousin, Alyssa, who just turned 5 this week. Alyssa always tries to take care of Emily and shows her all kinds of fun things to do. My sister's favorite thing to do in the summer is to have a water balloon fight. She and her dad have been doing balloon tosses on the 4th since she was little(her and dad and stepmom were also there). Emily didn't really know what to do with those balloons, but the fact that they were balloons and were in a bucket of water made it seem great to her!!
Emily fell on the ladder to the slide at my sister's house and had a HUGE bump on her lip. We gave her a popsicle to help with the swelling, since she wouldn't keep the ice pack on. She loved it.
