Benjamin and Alex Myles-Mills came over to play today. Carson, Ben and Alex have been friends since they went to R-Kids pre-school/daycare together. Although Ben and Alex go to a different school than Carson, they have gone to the summer school program at Franklin Elementary the last two years, so they have remained friends. It was so much fun to have them over. They swam, ate otter pops, played inside, climbed into the treehouse and played with Chevy.

At the last minute, we got together with our neighbors and friends, the Thurmans. They had been planning on getting together with family, but decided not to because their daughter Alyssa wasn't feeling very well. So, we got together and did all of our fireworks together. It was really fun and the kids all had a great time. The best part was the illegal things Chad and David were doing to the fireworks to make a better show for us! The kids liked the sparklers, pop-its and smoke bombs.
