This year the 4th was very different for us because we live here now-it was so easy packing to go over to Great Grandma's because we had everything we needed down the street! It is always so much fun to be with all of the cousins. The girls slept on the tramp with Mia and the rest of us slept in the tent. I use the word 'slept' very loosely. I took some nighttime medicine to help me sleep since last year I laid awake the entire night. At 1 am Brett woke me to tell me that he didn't feel good and was going home. At 3:30 Dalton was thrashing around in his sleeping bag and I knew that he needed to pee. You should have seen me trying to pick him up and drag him across the air mattress-both of us half asleep. He was so out of it and didn't even realize that he needed to pee that he was totally fighting me. I finally got him to the door of the tent and told him to go. He started screaming (waking everyone up) telling me that he didn't need to go. After about 5 minutes of that he finally peed but was so mad at me he wouldn't get back in his sleeping bag. He laid on the tent floor and every time I tried to put a blanket over him he would kick it off and growl at me. This went on for a good 45 minutes. Then he got cold enough to get in bed with me. So that was fun!
He looks so innocent. Neither Dalton nor Sydney woke up with the dynamite. I don't know how they could. Joe, Jade, and Bryce lit some off right in the backyard.

These girls sure have fun together and we are so glad we will get to see them more.

No one ever gets sleep when you are all together in a tent!! But it is tradition and fun so no one cares. Right?
