The Kendall Memoirs: The Fourth of July

July 4th

For the Fourth of July, we went to Moosehaven with Grammo for their annual festival. There were tons of bounce houses, face painting, lots of booths, food, and music. The kiddos had a great time. Natalie loves to bounce and slide so she was in her element. She is extremely tough and can do almost everything on her own. Gabriel was there too and enjoyed being able to help Natalie when she needed a hand. There was a really cool game trailer that was set up with loud music, lights, and XBOX games for everyone to enjoy. Gabriel enjoyed playing some games while Natalie jammed to the tunes.

It's pretty typical for Gabriel and I to make holiday treats. This year for the Fourth of July, we decided to make red, white, and blue strawberries, chocolate pretzel rods, and a red, white, and blue drink. The drink was pretty cool. Although you can't really tell by the picture, the colors didn't mix together. It was all in the sugar content. The drink with the highest sugar content had to be poured first and so on.

All I can say is adorable!

After Moosehaven, we headed out to Grandma and Poppa's for food, fun, and fireworks! We planned to spend the night so that we could enjoy the night even though Nathan had to work early the next day. The rain put a damper on our fireworks, but we still had a wonderful time. We were able to come back a couple of days later to set off the huge fireworks that Poppa bought. Natalie is still not a fan of fireworks and wanted to go inside, but we were able to watch from inside the house.
