4th of July in MO

We chose to fly to Missouri this time to visit family. LOVED it. So much better than driving umpteen million hours. The only hard parts were carrying 2 kids (ok, one walks.....but real slow), 2 carseats, 1 backpack, and 1 rolling carry-on across the airports and kids missed a good nap. Isaac was hilarious on one flight. He would not sit up in my lap. He wanted to lay down with his legs sprawled between the seat in front and Justin's leg. He wiggled and moved the whole time, but didn't cry, so it was great. The first flight (not the picture) Olivia was awed by the clouds.....as was I. (T)

This is at Nana and Gramp's house. Isaac is almost sitting up by himself. Couldn't pass up this picture. Too cute.

We went to St. Louis over the 4th weekend to stay with Katie and family. We had a picnic lunch while visiting Grant's Farm.

The "kids" were fun animals. They tried to eat everything. "Our kids" had lots of smiles and laughs.

Olivia and Aleah (not pictured) rode a pony at the O'Fallon 4th of July fair & fireworks. However, we never saw the fireworks. It started pouring rain 30min. before they were supposed to go off. We had to hike about 1/2 mile back to the car. Nate, Aleah, and Karsen had a blast. Olivia was a little unsure about getting soaked. Isaac stayed dry in the stroller under the tarp. Katie, Justin, and I were laughing all the way back to the car thinking about what a memory we were making!

Karsen and Olivia enjoying playing with each other once again.

Aunt Katie had an awesome hot rod that Olivia was determined to go forward in.

Before leaving Columbia we visited The Arc (gym/pool). Isaac got to splash with Nana. Olivia enjoyed not wearing a life jacket. He he.
