Fourth of July Staycation

I took off the week of the forth but Jason had to work since he just got back from his vacation. It was definitely nice to have him back!

Lots of our staycation has been Justin playing bat and ball and catch and Hallie playing with her barbies and dolls especially in the sunroom!

The kids and I swam at Ann and Doug's pool twice, and with mom, we went to the Shiele Museum down in Gastonia but it was a bit of a flop as the kids didn't like the dinosaur exhibit.

They didn't like the animal exhibits either but it had a neat outside area and  it had this cute pirate ship play area that they did love! Hence the pics!

On the 4th of July we went up to Linville to Dedas. They had bouncy houses and games and of course Hallie swam in the pool until there was thunder we had to get out. 

Justin enjoyed the lake/beach area.

Friday we ate lunch with Jason and played!

That evening we went to Lee and Der's house.

We got Justin a tee-ball metal bat we brought, then later did smores and fireworks.

On Saturday we went to Blowing Rock for the parade and a picnic. It rained more than we expected so we ate out of the hatch, then with the neighbors came! 

The kids enjoyed getting candy!
