4th of July - 2012

It was so weird having the 4th of July falling on a Wednesday this year.  Since the holiday was in the middle of the week we decided to stick close to home and go to a BBQ at our neighbors house with the kiddos.  In the morning I tried really hard to wear the kids out by making them race up and down our driveway:

Thank goodness it worked because both of them took great naps so Mom could hang out and read in the sun! After naps it was off to the BBQ where both the kids enjoyed a popsicle:

Someone needs to tell Drew that you need to eat the popsicle from the other side (and to not make weird faces when Mom is trying to take a picture).  Isla was so excited because she got to hang out with one of her best buddies, Ben, or as Isla likes to call him, Beniboo the whole afternoon:

Aren't they the cutest?!
