New Bikes

The time came this past week to buy a new bike. Ethan and Daddy headed to the stores to check them all out and then came home to talk about it and think about which one was THE ONE. He had been saying that he needed his seat lowered because his knees kept hitting the handle bars. Well he didn't need a seat lowered he needed a new bike. Our boys are growing up! Ethan got a new bike at ACE with gears and handlebar breaks. To say he LOVES it might be an understatement. =) Micah didn't get to buy a new bike but got to upsize to Ethan's old one, the joys of being the second born and not the oldest. He doesn't seem to mind though and is just as much in love with his new bike. He also just learned to ride without training wheels and is a cruising man. They go biking with Dad when he runs and biking with Mom when she walks and pushes Levi in the stroller. Great exercise for all involved!

4th of July

Happy 4th of July! We had a very fun weekend. Dave's folks were able to come and celebrate with us. We enjoyed many fun things...

 We started off the day with a fruit kabob American flag...YUMMY!

 It was a little windy so we didn't stay at the lake as long as we had planned but we still had fun. Dave did a little kayaking, we had fun swimming and played in the sand. and we enjoyed a picnic lunch on the beach before heading for home and less wind.

 Our spot on the beach.

We went back out toward evening for some go-cart fun. This is Levi and Daddy on Levi's first go-cart ride. It was a big hit! This was one very smiley little boy. He watched the older two go first and we weren't sure if he would want to but it didn't take much to get him out there with Daddy.

 Dave and Micah are in the front car and Grandpa and Ethan are in the car behind. All these boys LOVE go-carts.

 Now time for some ice cream before heading back toward town and fireworks.

It was a beautiful night to sit and watch fireworks and the display this year was spectacular. We had a fun filled day and a fun filled weekend!
