The 4th of July was pretty good this year. Rob worked the night before and the night of but we had fun with Grandma and Grandpa Toponce, and Michelle and Braden. We went to the Riverdale parade which always supplies ample candy.

We spent a lot of time together as a family the next weekend. We went to the zoo which is always a good time.

Carter LOVED seeing the monkeys.

Landen had fun seeing the animals too. But if you ask him what his favorite part was he will say "Riding the rides!"

And of course, there was the slide shaped like a snake. It was really nice to have fun as a family and just take it easy for a few days.
