4th of July Weekend

We've had a busy weekend! On Saturday morning Mama and Papa Miller took the three big kids to the movie "Cars 2" and then out for lunch at McDonalds! Talk about exciting! :) Later that day we discovered that the babies from the robins nest under our deck are now learning to fly! Russell was outside and started calling for us wildly because he had caught the baby robin and was holding it! The Mommy and Daddy Robin weren't too happy with him, and they made their disapproval known by lots of loud chirping and swooping in close to his head! Later that night we went to Mama and Papa's for dinner, played some games on their x-box, and then called it a night!

Today after church Belle went to the farm with Dave, while the rest of the kids took a rest. After naps and the farm the big kids got to play in the sprinkler (Ellie kept running from the sliding glass door to the window to get the best view of the excitement -- she still has a cast on her arm, so she couldn't join in the fun).


(I swear - we feed Russell!)



(Lots of silliness!)

No - we did not see any fireworks (again) this year... the kids didn't really care, but I'm guessing that will change in future years! This will be our last year with a brand new baby at home though, so including fireworks in our plans in the future should become more do-able!

Tomorrow we have our first family field trip - I'll post more about it tomorrow!
