A visit from Ma and Bob

Ma and Bob spent most of July 4th weekend with us, and we packed in a lot of fun activities. The circus was in town, so we thought it was a good chance to take Claire. We expect to only be there for about an hour, but she really enjoyed it, and we stayed for the entire performance. She loved the animals, and we were all pretty impressed with the motorcycle "Cage of Death". It was really crazy.

Enjoying her overpriced cotton candy :)

We wrapped up the evening by making a batch of sugar cookies. Claire loves to bake with Ma. They brought her some M&Ms in her favorite color, and she enjoyed using them to decorate her cookies.







On Sunday we had a low-key day - church, popsicles, and play set.



So tasty!








Ma and Bob left Monday morning, and we had a quiet 4th. The county is on a burn ban, so there were no fireworks shows to see. We enjoyed having some time together to just relax and get ready for the week ahead. Turned out to be a wise decision - the week got a little nuts after Monday!
