AZ Trip Part 3 - The 4th of July!

The 4th of July was a blast as usual.  We headed over to G&G Casson's to celebrate.  They bought this play set for the kiddos.  Aunt Sadie pushed Liam in the swing to give it a test run.

Then Liam did some pull-ups

A little later people started to arrive.  Liam decided to show off his skills.

Then he played in the baby ball-pit!

Avery joined him

Then Neely got in on the fun

Once the fireworks were getting ready to begin, grandma Casson busted out some glow sticks. The kids loved them and a few of them ate them.  Liam played and chewed on his.

The next morning we had to pack up and leave.  Aunt Sadie took it the hardest as usual.  Poor girl, I hate seeing how much it tears her up when we go.

Liam thought Sam was funny when he would growl. It was so cute how he'd laugh but then Sam would bark and Liam would cry. Here is Chris and Sam soaking up their time together.

Liam did really well on the flight home and slept for about 2 1/2 hours of the flight. We got home about 1am to a roasting hot house!  I had turned off the AC, because that is what Chris wrote down on the list of things to do.  Little did I know his turn off and my turn off were different.  He wanted me to just turn it up to about 85.  Needless to say I learned my lesson and will never just shut off the AC.  We all ended up going to bed about 2 am in the basement to stay cool!

Wednesday afternoon, Liam decided to show off his new found trick, climbing stairs! He thought he was pretty awesome!  

He definitely keeps us on our toes!
