July 4th fun

Only 200 degrees on the fourth of July this year!  It felt like it anyway.  We had a lovely time with the Jarvis family.  Things started out okay...all the kids were dressed to the nines in their red/white/blue garb.  All three kids managed to eat barbequed chicken and hotdogs without one shirt stain!  (I know this surprises Marcy!)  Then the water ball came out...the dry slide became a river slide...and then the dirt turned to mud...then the next thing you know, Kepler's brand new shirt is brown, Holden is covered in grass and mud, and Jillian's freshly curled hair is dripping wet!  At least they were cool!  The not-so-smart adults were in the shade, but it was still friggin' hot!

Then it was off to Randolph Air Force Base for some 4th of July fun.  And heat.  They held this particular event on the tarmac...so hot.......so we did some under the tent stuff like face painting:







Yes, he has his eyes closed.  He kept peeking at the girl painting his face, but he wouldn't look up!  Hilarious!




And last but not least, we hit the bounce houses and slides...this was by far the best part of the day!



Just a side note:  Texas outlawed fireworks this year....BOOOOOOOoooooo, Texas.  Maybe next year!
