Will's parents

We were lucky enough to have Will's parents come and visit for a day.  They were driving back to Utah.

I wasn't sure how Adam would do with Grandma and Grandpa Keeler; he is just starting to feel stranger danger occasionally.  But he warmed up after a couple of minutes.

We went to the bounce house gym place that we have taken the girls to several times.  It was fun for us adults to be able to sit and talk while the girls were jumping.

Then we went to Sheri's for dinner.  I learned that Wednesday is free pie day at Sheri's if you buy a meal, so we all got to try different kinds of pie.

The girls liked their meals too.  So maybe we will go back sometime.

Unfortunately, Will's parents had to leave early the next morning.  But they were here long enough to make some pretty hair for the girls.  I wish they could have stayed longer.  Thankfully, we are going to visit them for a week over Labor Day, so that will be fun.

Right before Will's parents came, we went to the McDonalds open house.  The McDonalds right down the street from us was being renovated for the last like two months, so they had a party to celebrate the re-opening.

Ronald McDonald did a magic show for the kids.

And there was face painting; Megan wanted to be the kitty.  It was kind of a fun little open house.  Workers were walking around passing out free samples of McDonalds food.

And just one more picture.  Isn't this the cutest baby?

Anyway, things are going really well here.

Happy Fourth

So I know we are a little behind, but here are some Fourth of July pictures from those crazy Hermiston Keelers.  We watched a couple of videos about why we celebrate the Fourth of July and the girls made paper flags.

Here Will and Whitney sit on my mom's porch swing.  See the matching outfits - that wasn't planned.

And eating a delicious breakfast with our neighbors - well, my parents' neighbors.

Then we went to the Pasco parade.We found the perfect place to sit and everyone was eager for it to begin.  The girls got a lot of candy this year.

After the parade we went back to my parents house and my dad made a fire so we could all roast hot dogs and s'mores.  You forget how good a hot dog is roasted over a fire.

The girls all enjoyed their meal.

Whitney got a slip n slide for her birthday.  This was our first time using it.  Rachel was the only one willing to try it at first.

Eventually the three girls would just scoot themselves down the slide.  Nobody liked going on their tummy.

After dinner we went to the stadium for fireworks.  It actually got pretty cold so we were glad for the sheets to add an extra layer of warmth.

The fireworks were beautiful.  Adam slept through his first firework show.  Oh well.  He can try again next year.
So it was a wonderful Fourth of July.  Happy Birthday America!
