4th of July

On the 4th of July we were a little leery of heading too far from the cabin because we had heard that Tahoe got super crowded and the traffic got bad. So we did Adam and Tracy's games at the park by our cabin and had lunch there. It ended up being one of the most fun days! Then the big kids did a bike ride while the little kids napped and that night we went back to the same park and got an awesome view of the fireworks. The Tahoe fireworks are the biggest this side of the Mississippi, they were awesome. We hit no traffic and had such a fun day.

Uncle Gregor brought his tee and Zach LOVED hitting off of it. I want to get one now because I hate throwing the ball to him (since I can't throw a ball!)

Maybe by the time they're 10 and 8 I'll be able to get a picture of both of them smiling. But no such luck these days.

We played a bunch of water games like pass the wet sponge over your head

And then Brady played in the buckets of water

A water balloon toss and more water balloon volleyball

Zach was into his throws

Then we had a watermelon eating contest

and decided to let Brady have a try

which was adorable

Zach went for it

and Brady followed suit

finished!

Uncle Adam took Zach around the park on the trailer bike which he LOVED and still talks about

Fireworks at the park, we ditched Brady with the ones who stayed behind at the cabin since he was asleep
