4th of July weekend

What a busy weekend! On Saturday, the girls headed to Nana and Papa's for some fun while Daddy and I completed some indoor and outdoor projects. Sunday we got out our new pool for some fun before heading to a neighborhood barbeque. Our neighbors have a jumper, which entertained the kids before dinner. Then, it was time for fireworks. Sofia did not enjoy the noise (probably due to exhaustion... she really enjoyed the jumper!) and stayed in Sandy's lap. Samantha tried sparklers and some snappers, during which time I prayed that she would not hurt herself. I'm not usually overly protective, but those things made me nervous. I kept it in check and when it was too much, I simply looked the other way because I don't want my girls to be fearful of the world. There is simply too much to experience in this world!
