                          We gave Dawson his first sucker and all he wanted to do was share with Daddy.

4th Of July Fun

    Every year we have a camp out in Laura's backyard for the 4th of July.  It is always so much fun to get together eat yummy food, talks lots, watch a movie under the stars and then sleep in our tents.  This year was really fun.  We did miss Mel, Jared and Jensen though  :(

He loved climbing up the slide.  He is a little monkey!

 The kid table playing with play dough!

Tramp time!  Jade loves the tramp more than anyone!

Roasting marshmellows!  Yummy!

   We also did a few little fireworks.  I was wondering if Dawson would be scared of them, but he wasn't at all.  He loved them.  He just looked at them like in aw....

    I fell asleep watching the movie and decided to go into our tent where Jesse and Dawson were already asleep, a couple of hours later we woke up to the rain!  It was lightning too, so I took Dawson and went inside.  Jesse was the only one that stayed outside all night long!  He was a trooper, the lightning scared me!

Our cute little tent!  Dawson's first camp out!  He loved the tent.


   The 4th was really fun.  We all went swimming!  It was really fun.  Dawson loves the water!

Jesse took Dawson down the big slide and would go sooo fast!  Kinda scared me!
(Dawson is going to be a little dare devil cuz of Jesse!)

 After swimming we went to Jesse's parents house and ate a yummy dinner and played games with them and Jen and Brad and Addie.

Just checking out the bunnies!  He loves them.

Addie loves the bunnies too!

Hope your 4th was as good as ours!
