More Summer Memories and the Birthday Boys

Since the twins never had an "official" birthday party, we decided to do a special one this year for their 4th birthday. They chose Chuck E Cheese. Everyone had a blast as you can see:

This was one of their favorite things, the ticket blaster


Following in his grandpa's footsteps with his racing? Hope not!



Dalton in his cowboy outfit. He didn't want to take it off once he put it on!




All tuckered out


Daddy's present to the boys. Keeping the batteries charged is our biggest challenge!



Time with Cousins
We had a great trip to Cousin's house for the fourth of July. We went to a parade. Just look at these patriotic cuties :) Auntie had them create their cool flag shirts:

The kids (and adults) enjoyed the parade. Here are some photo highlights:




While we were visiting, Carolyn and I and the older boys took a hike at one of the parks on the Blue Ridge parkway. The views were breathtaking:







At the end of the hike we climbed a tower which was high above the tree tops. The boys loved it. Auntie who is afraid of heights.... not so much so. She braved it and climbed up, however. After such a long hike, you had to enjoy the reward at the end!
