4th of July weekend







On the 4th of July we packed up and went to Sioux City for the weekend. On Friday night we went to the Explorer's game. Libby liked clapping and cheering when everyone else did. She was in love with the mascot "Slider". She kept crying and saying "Puppy, Puppy, Puppy". Libby did great staying up for the fireworks. She LOVED them too. The loud noise didn't scare her at all. She just watched and said "WOW". We have since seen fireworks on TV and she will stare and say "WOW".
On Saturday we went out to Brad and Teri's for their annual pool party. Libby LOVES swimming. She has no fear of the water. She would jump in by herself if we let her. We didn't make it until the fireworks that night because Libby was tired and kept wanting to get in the pool with her clothes on. Austin gave us a little fireworks show at Mimi and Papa's after it got dark. He only tried to light the neighborhood on fire once, which was pretty funny and scary at the same time.
On Sunday Mike and I made a visit to our old house. It was cool to see the family but sort of sad to see it again. After everyone went back to Omaha on Sunday (Libby and I stayed until Tuesday), we went over to my sister's to visit with Taylor and Caleb. Libby played with the kids, had a couple of snacks and went swimming. We left when it started raining and the tornadoes came. My visit would not have been complete without the tornado sirens going off.
