4th of July with the Lingrel Family

For the week starting on July 2nd, my brother (David), his girlfriend (Nathalie), and Nephews Christian (8), Connor (7), Corbin (3) and Mason (5 weeks) came to visit.  It was a wonderful visit and all the kiddos got along very well.  There was a lot of swimming at Grandma & Grandpa's pool.  On Sunday we decided to shoot off most of the fireworks that the kids had since some of us had to work on Tuesday (and we're old fuddie duddies and go to bed early)! 

Taylor really enjoyed helping Brian light fireworks and run as fast as she could away from them then turn around and watch them shoot sparks.  She also really enjoyed watching the "snakes" grow and her and I sat in the grass and lit sparklers.  All in all she really had a blast (ha ha - get it blast?!)

So with out further adieu...here are some pictures from that weekend!
