Family Fun Day

We had a great family fun day today.  I am SO thankful that I am no longer working weekends and able to spend time just having FUN with my family!

We started off at our local bookstore where they had an annual "Bubblewrap Explosion & 4th of July Party".  We had never attended this event before, but the kids had a blast.  Well, it was actually geared a little more towards the younger set, so the boys were a bit pouty at first, but then they got into it.  

They all got to make jingle bell noise makers and patriotic visors and then had a "parade" around the store.  (It is a HUGE 2 story book center, so this wasn't just a march down a few aisles of books.)  The boys thought marching was a bit goofy, but Ella was loving it!  

Then they brought out the bubble wrap and let the kids STOMP away.  It sure did sound like the 4th of July in there.  I am attaching some pictures and may even try to get a video clip on here (don't know if I can figure that out of not).  

After the party we came home and had lunch and then took the kids back out to see WALL-E.  It was very cute and they really enjoyed it.  As an added bonus, there was another family from church in the theater, so we got to visit with them for a bit.  

The kids are signing their VBS songs in both services tomorrow morning, so hopefully I will get some cute pics of that.
