Gwynn’s 4th Birthday Party!

We had Gwynn’s birthday party a bit early so it wouldn’t interfere with the July 4th weekend. We went to Pump it up, or as Gwynn calls it “Pump ‘un nup”

Watching a video on the rules of pump it up.

Their other motto is “Where you’ll get rug burns on any exposed skin”  but it’s not as popular.

Liberty Day

Every year we go to Sherry and Kenny’s house for their annual Liberty Day celebration. Grandma and Pop came too and brought Kate with them. Aunt Jen was in town for Gwynn’s birthday, so she got to come too! The kids wore their swimsuits and had A LOT of fun!

01fc18c7e1d396f36c9f179ad623fa69ebf9c41a55

There’s always some type of inflatable for the kids and this year it was a water inflatable.
