We had a super busy and fun holiday weekend! On Saturday morning, we drove down to Corvallis to see Matt's family. His aunt and uncle were visiting from Oklahoma and it had been over a year since we had seen them. We had a great time playing badminton, running around the yard, and eating the most delicious brunch ever! Erika, Laurel and Levi liked playing with their cousins and all the fun new toys that Grandpa and Grandma have for them. On Sunday night, we had some good friends come over for dinner and the girls did some pop-its and sparklers to warm up for the big time the following evening. Monday was spent playing in the sprinkler and then putting on a small, but enjoyable for our little kids, fireworks show. For me, the best part of the entire weekend came on Monday night as we were watching our little firework show. Matt was lighting ground flowers and a few fountains on the street. Sarah, the girls and I were sitting on the curb watching. One of the ground flowers came toward the curb and some of the dead, dry grass caught on fire. Nothing huge, about 3 long pieces of weed caught on fire. I had a water bottle for the very purpose of putting out fires so I just poured some water on it. Erika was a little apprehensive of the fire and when I poured the water on it, she was amazed that I was able to put it out. She looked at me in complete awe and said, "You are a superhero and a firefighter!" I love my little girl and her admiration for everything I do!
Saturday at Grandpa and Grandma
Hammar's house with the cousins.
Levi's cousin, Judah, had to make sure Levi's eyes were okay.
Swinging...a fun pastime for all the
Hammar kids.
Levi adores the swing. I like to stick him in it when he's grumpy at night because it calms him down.
Running through the sprinkler. Laurel made progress this year as last year she wouldn't go near the water.
Levi's face is hilarious! He didn't like the initial cold shock, but learned to deal with it.
Getting drinks.
Levi learned to enjoy it.
Erika is probably the best water adventurer we have.
Laurel being daring.
Levi did not get to do sparklers or pop-its, but liked watching his sisters.
Daddy handing out the pop-its.
Laurel would throw hers on the ground and then shout "I did it!" It was pretty sweet.
Ready for our version of a fireworks show.
Erika loved the sparkly fountains.
Here are some videos of sprinklers, pop-its and sparklers.
