Happy 4th of July week!!!

What a great week we've had so far, and it's not over yet! Pictures and story below...

My sister Kate and her son Colton came up from Virginia and stayed with us from Monday through Wednesday. We went to the park near our house a lot. Colton liked the swings.
Colton and Kate...
Colton, Sophia, and Ethan had fun playing in the sunroom. Note Colton's school bus next to his right hand - it's his favorite toy these days. We saw a few real buses during his stay and he got incredibly excited.
On Thursday we took our first road trip to Connecticut to visit my mom. Sophia and Ethan wore their "I love Grandma" bibs on for the occasion.
Colton plays with his truck...
We went to the beach for the first time, and Sophia and Ethan both LOVED it! We're planning to go back soon!
Gram, Sophia, Ethan, and Steve...

Sophia liked the feeling of the sand.
One of my favorite pictures of Gram and Sophia...
"Yay for the beach!"
"Hmmm... What's up with all this sand??"
Steph and Ethan. Ethan was all about the water...
"Ooh! I like all this water! Splash, splash!"

On Friday, we went to Concord to celebrate the 4th of July with our friends Carol, Sam, and Ian. We all piled into our minivan to go to the parade and festivities in Concord center. From left to right: Sam, Carol, Ian in our van...
Ian got a balloon for Sam...
Ethan was excited to watch the parade. After the excitement was over, he fell asleep on Steve...
We had a great time hanging out with Carol, Sam, and Ian after the festivities in Concord center. Carol is supermom! She held Ethan while still entertaining Sam. Arguably, Ian helped out a lot by blowing bubbles... Left to right: Ethan, Carol, Sam, Ian...
