1/4 and the rest of the weekend

We all had a good weekend with the Fourth. Friday morning we headed up to Lynn's parent's in Springfield and spent the day there. We took Nate out fishing at their subdivision pond. We had to take him away after about 15 minutes because he kept insisting on throwing rocks into the pond. That's against subdivision rules. Prior to that, him and the cousins all threw snaps on the driveway and Nate loved them. I stepped on them with my bare feet. Kind of weird feeling.

WE pretty much had worn Nate out, since he didn't take a nap. So he went to bed and we went over to Lynn's brother's to watch fireworks in downtown Springfield. The display down there was average, we had to move since their was a huge government building in our way.

We came home Saturday and met up with my sister that afternoon. We went over to St. Charles to purchase some fireworks. Would think they would be discounting stuff, but their wasn't much. We got Nate some snappies, snakes and race cars with some fountains. Nate loved watching them all go off. One of the race cars didn't work right and blew up and burned in two. The other worked great.

Sunday, we had worn Lynn completely out so she stayed home while Nate and I went to church. We saw a couple of friends and I got my ticket to next weeks Men at the Cross event.

We told Ms. Tracy about our twins and she freaked...

I then took Nate swimming at the Y and we played for an hour or so. I even went back again during his Nap to get in sometime on the elliptical. After Nate's nap, we walked to the blue park. We took a new way back, sneaking through a water washout and up a steep hill to walk through the school grounds to a small path between houses into the subdivision. Nate insisted on picking up Rocks and Leaves and such to put into his dump truck....

I got my computer back. Gary was able to reset the configuration so it is working again. We'll see how it performs. Hasn't froze up yet....

Here's some pics of our weekend.
