The high light of July for us was Jacob's family coming to see us for the 4th of July. I am not in love with this house but it was so nice to have enough room to put everyone. The kids love to see the family. The kids play so well together. When they got here we tried to take them to our favorite indoor play place called Castaway Cafe but they had closed it for the afternoon because they were too slow so we went out to eat at a Chinese buffet and just let the kids play.
Sunday was so hot that after church we pulled out the slip and slid and let the kids play...
The kids also had a lot of fun that evening after the barbecue trying to catch fire flies. They caught a whole bunch of them and put them in a jar.

After finding as many fireflies as we could we went out and built a fire in the back to roast marshmallows and we let off our own fireworks surrounded by the twinkling lights of the fireflies. It was beautiful.
I think that everyone's favorite part was meeting Merrik though. I think he got held the whole time they were here. He loved all of the attention of course...
It was so nice to have them here to play. We loved having them. I know I have said it before but I am so glad that we are closer to Jacob's family. I love being able to get to know them better. 7 hours really seems like a breeze to me because I used to drive that repeatedly through out the year to go to Arizona but this drive there is more to look at so it goes quicker...
