4th of July Fun

The 4th of July was very wet and soggy this year! It rained all day and we were unsure of what the big plans were going to be. We finally decided it was inevitable that we were going to get wet, so we packed our umbrellas and blankets and headed to the park. We finally settled on a spot right on the golf course and set up camp. Jordan was a little hesitant about the location he wanted to be at the park so that he could find his friends and play, as the night went on he became happy with our sweet little spot on the course which had a great view and very few people. While waiting for the fireworks to start the boys played with their glow sticks, ran around chasing each other (of course whipping each other with their glow sticks), and snacking on lots of yummies. The 4th of July is truly one of my favorite holidays, I just love the excitement the day brings from the parade to the fireworks...

I do have to update everyone on Jordan's arm, he finally had surgery last month and had his plates taken out of his left arm. It has been a very slow month of recovery and trying to keep Jordan from playing like a boy has been very hard. We had strict orders from the doctors no riding bikes, scooters, jumping, and other things that involve pushing, pulling, lifting, or tugging. This is an almost impossible order that was given to Jordan, I honestly thought about investing in a roll of bubble wrap and on a daily basis wrapping Jordan's arm up and send him outside to play. Tomorrow we go in for Jordan's check-up and x-rays and I am a little nervous to see how his bones are growing, I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.
