4th of July visitors and fun!

Jacob's parents came to visit for the 4th of July this year.  The kids adore Grandpa and Grandma F. and we had a great time with them here.  Since they flew into Pittsburgh, we made a family trip of it and went to IKEA on the 4th.  I had a great time shopping though I'm not sure everyone felt the same! :)  Back in Ohio we didn't do too much except for hanging out at home while the Bob and Debbie played with the kids.  We were lame and only took like 2 pictures the whole time, darn it!

On the Saturday after the 4th we went to a 4th of July party hosted by a work friend of Jacobs.  They live on a beautiful grape farm and they had a face painter, animal guy, and an amazing firework show.  This is the 2nd year we have gone and we hope they keep inviting us.  About 10 minutes after we left we got caught in torrential rains...it was crazy!  Luckily the rain only lasted a few minutes.

The animal guy was so funny and all the kids loved the show.  Tommy and Claire touched all the animals and were very brave.  Claire got picked to stand on the turtle, awesome!  She did amazing!

Claire also helped hold the snake and put it back in its tub.  She totally had the head and didn't even mind!  We were surprised she was so into it.

The problem with family coming is that they always have to leave too soon!  Come again!
