Uncle Levi, Aunt Amber and their family come to visit us for the 4th of Jule weekend. While getting getting ready for our cousins to come we found a small box turtle in the yard. Dad almost ran it over with the mower. We kept it safe until our cousins came so they could see it and then let if go in the yard. We saw him a couple days later crawling in the grass.
Since he keeps showing up I guess we should name him.
Here are all the kids in their Sunday clothes.
Daniel, Locke, Eliza, Cannon, Zora, Verin, Xane, and Bradley
It was fun trying to get everyone to look at the same time!
On the 4th we went to Apex, NC for their old fashioned parade and other activities. There were lots of bounce toys to place on.
Making a game plan.
The horse races were a big hit.
The kids watching the parade. Their favorite was all the candy they got!
The Fire department had their ladder truck out spraying the crowd since it was really hot!

Looking back at the main street and the big party!
Taking a potty brake before heading home.
While some of the kids played on the slip n' slide Andy took Levi and Amber to check out Duke University. This is the front of the cathedral.
It started pouring rain around 3:30 so we decided to watch "Gnomeo and Juliet." Eliza loves Cannon! She kept following him around and trying to get him to play with her. She snuggled him on the couch during the movie.
We got a break in the weather around 7 pm, so we headed out to do some fire works.
Sparklers and fountains are the only things legal here, but the little kids didn't mind.
We had a lot of fun with our cousins and hope they come again soon!
