We had a great 4th of July! We spent the day together as a family and then after Olivia's nap (yea!) we went over to the Smith's house for a cookout and some fun! Kennedy and Olivia had a lot of fun playing outside in Kennedy's pool, which is super cool and has a slide on it! They then had a picnic and went on playing on Kennedy's swingset! It was all fun and games and then Olivia got stung by a wasp or hornet or something! I heard her scream from inside the house and thought she was just being over-dramatic about a bug or something, her newest fear! But I was wrong, she had every reason to be upset! Denny ran and got her down from the playset and her left ear was bright red!!! After looking around her ear and asking her where it hurt, we found a small spot where it looked as though she had been stung. Thanks to the quick thinking of Matt and Julie, we quickly had an antidote! Baking soda and water mixed together was supposed to take out the sting! Just a little FYI to all of you out there, it really worked! Within minutes she was up and playing again... although this time, indoors! Which I'm sure the guys were thankful for as they had been stuck with them outside all afternoon!
After all had settled down, I was able to get a picture of
Olivia with the baking soda and water remedy! 
After lots of playing the girls took a bath and got into their pj's! 
Then we took them to check out the fireworks closeby! Olivia loves fireworks and was disappointed they started a little earlier than planned so we missed the very beginning! But she had a great time and was sad when the show was over!
We had a wonderful 4th and even survived our first wasp sting! I hope everyone else enjoyed their holiday and extended time with their family! It is always so hard to see Denny go back to work after a holiday!
