Our 4th of July

We drove to Peoria on July 3rd to babysit Drew, Kayley and Ryan while their folks went on vacation to Lake of the Ozarks.  We had a grand time celebrating the 4th with these three!  The weather was gorgeous and we did many outdoor activities.  Megan and Andy returned on Sunday so we drove back to the farm yesterday.  Why is it always so hard to leave them?

This sums up our 3 days together! 



Ryan loves getting rides from Kayley on the Gator.


All the rain popped up a lot of weeds and grass on the kids' "mountain" and Drew was determined to get rid of them!

We made a 4th of July cake and it was delicious!

Kayley was hesitant to do sparklers but Grandpa eased her into the process and then she loved it.

The age of technology.....

Ryan seems to have no fear.

Come on Kayley, give me a ride!

Evening of the 4th

Kayley lost her very first tooth while mom and dad were away but the tooth fairy came through for her!

Ryan likes Kayley's tooth fairy teddy bear.
