Robertson 4th of July Family reunion

Because I had the chance to be so close to my mom's family, I very much encourage any chance to build relationships with our family.  This one is Jer's favorite time of the year I think... he LOVES the treats, visiting, and the Pinewood Derby.
 
Evelyn and cousin Samuel

Being in the pool is awesome when you're big pregnant... I almost feel normal again.  The kids are getting more and more adventurous in the pool.  Ada can now swim without floaties, Sam can swim without any help from parents, and Evelyn has started swimming and jumping about 5-10 feet away from me. 


Love these kids.

Dad got this awesome picture.

Marg and kids... That was fun to chat with Marg, Mary, Becca and Diane

Ada's festive hairdo

Driveway of Fire

Evelyn was so excited for sparklers!

Ada, who's never had a problem with fireworks was terrified of them this year... She very reluctantly did one sparkler, sat 10 feet behind me while watching the fireworks and even left to go inside for a while during all the fireworks.  Luckily she came back out in time to see the grand finale.  She was wowed by that.


Sam loved it so much that he giggled if a firework came too close to  him and asked Dad if he could help throw some flowers.


Sam's car did really well this year... it was in the top few.

Evelyn was in the top three... I think she got 2nd place.  She was so excited to see her car winning.

Jer LOVES to make his cars

Ada was very disappointed with her car, but honestly it wasn't bad.  It won first in the group of the cars that lost the first heat.

When Ada got over her loss, this is what she decided to do instead... Helped Evelyn watch her car.

This is such a fun family.  They're sweet and playful.  It's fun to get to know them and try not to freeze in the cold rain!  It was...
