Happy 4th of July

We have a very busy and fun filled July 4th!! In the morning, Trent and I went to Pump it Up in Frisco with some friends. It's a place with bounce houses and bounce slides that normally does just birthday parties but on Monday and Friday's they have a pop in and play for an hour and a half so we decided to check it out. At first, Trent wasn't too sure about it there but by the end, he was having so much fun. There was one bounce house with a big circle thing in the middle and I would put him on top and he loved sliding down. Then there was a huge slide that he finally got the hang up walking up and sliding down. He would slide down backwards and then once he got to the bottom he would stand up and just be laughing. It was so much fun to watch. After we left, of course he was pooped and ready for his nap. We headed home and he took a good 2 1/2 hour nap! During this time, I took advantage of two sleeping guys and headed to the pool to get some sun :-) After nap time for everyone we hung out at the house for a bit and then headed to my sister in law's parent's house. They live by the lake outside of the county, so we are able to shoot fireworks there. When we got there, Trent and his cousin Gavin played in the pool for awhile. They had a blast splashing around in there! Then we all ate some dinner and I discovered Trent LOVES watermelon!!! He had about 4 or 5 pieces all together yesterday! Trent also had so much fun playing with his friends, Carson and Logan. All four little ones were just running around, eating watermelon and having so much fun together. It's really nice having friends with kids so close in age. After all the eating and playing, it got dark so the guys went down to start the fireworks. Like last year, Trent is not a fan of this at all! He would be walking around, then a firework would go off, he would come running to me saying "mommy, mommy", jump in my lap and hide his head in my shoulder. I can't even begin to count how many times he did this. At one point, he started covering his eyes which was kind of cute but I felt pretty bad for him. By the end of our home firework show, Trent was doing a lot better but still a bit on edge from the fireworks. He was very excited to see daddy after the show was over! Overall, our day was really fun yet very exhausting! We all got to sleep in this morning which was extremely nice. I hope everyone else had a wonderful 4th of July!!!
