We had a blast celebrating the fourth. The night before we took Gracie bowling. This is the first time she has actually bowled. She had a blast the first game, so we decide to play a second game. She didn't think it was as fun the second time around. Gracie loved the ball return. She would wait for everyone's ball to pop up and alert us that it was there. Bowling was also a great opportunity to teach turn taking. Boy did she keep up with everyone's turn. We had so much fun watching her bowl. She fouled so many times because her ball was moving so slow through the sensor. Johnny would just sit with her at the end of the lane and wait for the ball to finally get to the end. The monitor had ball speeds posted and most of ours were in the 20mph range, and hers were less than 1mph. 
Gracie pouting because she didn't hit that many pins.
The forever wait for the ball to reach the pins.
On the fourth we went to my parents house to celebrate the fourth with them. Uncle David, Aunt Pat, and their two kids Jana and Scott were able to be there also. It was great to see everyone again! While the guys were cooking it started to storm and hail. We thought the night was going to be ruined, but after we ate it slowly stopped. Gracie, and Garrett, and Brandon were able to go swimming (even though the water was freezing) and the guys were able to let off fireworks. I really enjoy every minute we have to spend with family!
