evening we headed down to our neighbors for a neighborhood BBQ and fireworks. Todd and I LOVE the friends we have made in our neighborhood. They are so fun and always want to have good time, whether it be chatting in the front yard as someone walks by, or a planned party that we all get together for. Jackson and Aubrin had so much fun playing with all of the kids. They rode bikes, played in the pool and just acted silly. During the BBQ we had a little rain, but it passed quickly and we continued to have a good time. 
When it was almost dark the kids did sparklers or sprinklers as Jackson would call them. 
Aubrin didn't care for them to much. Although she liked watching the other kids do them. Once it got dark we had a great fireworks show. It was late after the fireworks, so we were happy that our neighbors had their golf cart with them and was able to drive the kids and I home. Todd followed with the wagon and all of our stuff. Once again, the kids didn't get into bed until 11:00~UGH!
On Sunday we got up and headed to the Porter's lake in Fenton. Of course Jackson and Aubrin love the Porter girls and Jessica, Hannah and Sarah are great with our kids. When we got there, Jackson and Todd headed out on the boat. Jackson was really excited to go tubing. Aubrin and I stayed behind to visit with Danielle and the other ladies. Jackson was all smiles as he drove by on the tube with Todd. 
Later in the day I also went out on the boat so I could snap a few pictures of Jackson on the tube. After tubing we headed to a swimming area. 
Jackson and Aubrin both did great. They had no fear as they both jumped off the boat to swim. It was great watching them take risks and having a great time. Again, we got home late and the kids didn't get into bed until after 10:00.
On Monday we played around the house in the morning and then went to Ron and Lisa's for more beach fun and dinner after Aubrin was up from her nap.
Jackson and Todd played on the jet skies, while Aubrin played on the beach and in the water. After water play we headed backup to the house for dinner. The boys played baseball and Aubrin and Shelby rode bikes while dinner was cooking. After dinner we visited a bit more and then headed home for fireworks that we bought. We went across the street to do them with Dave, Jamie, Lexie and Morgan. It seemed silly to do them when it was still a little light out, but Jackson and Aubrin were more than exhausted from all of our 4th of July fun over the past couple of days.
Todd did a great job lighting the fireworks off and the kids thought they were great. We were happy to finally get the babes in bed by 9:45! It was a great couple of days of celebrations spent with friends, but I think we are all looking forward to getting back to a typical day and an earlier bed time!
