4th of July

Hey everyone! Sorry I have kind of been a blog slacker this week. But it's for a good reason! My mom has been in town for the last week and a half. We have been having a great time and are bummed that we have to take her to the airport tomorrow :( I will post fun pictures of us later.

Today I found my friend Amber's cool blog and she posted some pictures of us from the 4th, so I thought I would post them for you all to see. We had a great time having dinner here and then taking the kids to Freedom Fest at the base. At Freedom Fest they had fun things to keep the kids entertained until the fireworks and lots of different booths and food. One of the kids activities included those big inflatable bounce houses. The girls had a fun time jumping in one of the many they had set up. Well, as they were jumping, I heard a mother screaming at her kids in the one next to us. I thought, wow, her kids must be acting really naughty or something. Well, a couple seconds letter I heard a lot of people yelling and kids screaming. Turns out, it started to rapidly deflate with all the children in it! As you may know, the only way in and out of most of those things is a tiny flap in the front, so you can't really get in there to pull the kids out. Thanks to some fast moving guys *including my wonderful husband* they worked together and got all the kids got out of there quickly and without injury. The only damage that was done was to the Jamba Juice we had just bought. It's split open after Mr. J set it down to help hold up the jump house. Thankfully, the nice people at the Jamba booth gave him a new one! So the moral of that story is to always carefully supervise your kids in those things. The CPSC has some helpful tips as well.
