Sunday we went to church, a parade and then hung out at my mom’s for the evening for some pool fun, hot dogs & hamburgers, s’mores and fireworks! Definitely a great way to end a weekend!

The water was a bit chilly, but it was perfect after that 2 hour parade in the heat!
Owen especially loved the jet in the pool! He thought it was hilarious!
And who doesn’t love a yummy s’more?
We let Charlie roast his own marshmallow, too!
Did you do anything fun this weekend for the 4th of July?
