Bart’s family was in town for the 4th of July.  Well actually it was the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th of July but who’s counting?  I don’t think our kids have ever slept less than they did this weekend.  We ended up hanging out every night until some ridiculous hour roasting marshmallows, swimming, talking and hoping one of the kids didn’t wander off in the dark.

Since they were staying with MercyMe’s manager, he was kind enough to let us take over his house for a few days, riding four wheelers, more swimming, and blowing up fireworks.  The boys loved it.  Bart and I ended up having to clean up some of the firework mess, but that just started an awesome sword fight and then we wandered off.  You know how it goes.

And here’s the funny thing.  This was one of the first times that we got to hang out as families.  The kids instantly clicked and could have played all day and all night.  Kristin and I were talking about how weird it was that Bart and I have known each other for years, but as families we were just getting to know each other.  Weird dynamic, but we had an absolute blast.

Now to talk them into moving here…
