July

Our favorite month to date.

Caleb was off on the 4th of July for the first time in a long time.  We started out the day at the movies watching Despicable Me 3 and then we were able to take the kids to see some fireworks.  It was Aryas first time ever seeing them and I think Casen was 1 the last time he did.

And now for the picture overload.  July was our official family vacation.  We headed to New York for about 2 weeks.  We got to start out the trip meeting up with Jonathan and the kiddos.  Our kids loved hanging out with their cousins.  They're finally all old enough to play together.

Then we headed to my parents house.  All the siblings were able to make the trip to be together for my dads 50th birthday.  We had the best time there.  The kids were spoiled and Caleb and I even got to sneak away for a couple nights.

The first day I didn't have my phone until the very end of the night, but my kids had a blast playing with Mac and Cam

Group pictures ended up being impossible

The only pic we managed from our mini getaway

They thoroughly enjoyed baking with grandma

We got to watch the ships come in and enjoy New York pizza...pizza in Virginia doesn't compare.

We returned to the Township 7 Brewery.

And we had a great fishing day.  They caught tons of fish and at the end of the day got to bring some back to cook over the fire.

And it didn't turn out at all....but an ice cream trip has to be documented :)

And we finished out the week celebrating Benny's birthday

There's a ton of things I missed getting pictures of, but we are already planning our trip for next year!
