4th of July

The 4th of July in Ohio was a typical boiling hot day!  Our friends the Guentter's invited us up to Columbus to spend the day with their family.  We headed out early and got there around lunch time.  The kids quickly changed and we went to the local Pickerington Swim Club.  We used to be members there so it was fun to check it out.  We ran into many people we knew and even a neighbor! 

After the pool and dinner at Matt & Dana's, we went to the local Pickerington parade.  We always went to this parade with the kids when we lived there.  In fact, we even sat at our usual spot!  Morgan & Emery are only 1 month apart in age.

The whole gang...Elese, Morgan, Lilli, Jacob, Eliot, Eli & TJ (not sure where Em is)!

It was sooo hot that day...I mean sweat running down your back hot!  After the parade we made a dash to Graeter's Ice Cream to cool off.

We had such a fun time hanging out with the Guentter's.  Our kids always have a blast and the adults had fun too.  It was a little sad to leave because we knew it would be the last time our families would be together for a long time.  We're hoping they can make it up for a visit!

Paco is a good friend of ours.  We met at our church in Pickerinton when we lived there.  In the past year Scott & Paco became really close and even met once a month at the 1/2 way point in between Columbus & Cincinnati.

Sweet Eliot was soooo hot!  Check out his cheeks!  Did you catch the double sucker...oh yeah, living it up!
