4th of July

This past weekend Ben had a blast.  It was a crammed packed fun weekend of things, but not a ton of pictures to show for it.  Regardless the ones I do have are pretty good.  On Saturday we went to our friends house so Ben could play with Annabel and her new jungle gym.  He had fun chasing Annabel and Jack around and going down the slide.  Meanwhile Kate tried to keep up with the rest and Mallory enjoyed the view.

Then on Monday we went to Villagefest in PV and of course he had a good time.  He got to see all the animals, take his first pony ride (which he loved surprisingly), operate a fire hose, sit on a police motorcycle, play in a police car, get his first bike helmet and eat some cookies.  Meanwhile Ashley slept through most of it and woke up in time to hear the fire truck honk it's horn and scare her.  A bottle and diaper change did the trick to calm her down though and all was well.

New Helmet!

Hope I don't ever see this again

Hi!

Happy 4th!

For the record, Ben chose the cardinal's hat instead of the Royals hat.  Since one is red and the other is blue, those were his choices.  I'm proud to say after both times of me asking and Brian insisting on the blue, he chose red!  At least he already knows who to count on if he wants to watch a good team!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy fourth!
