Mom and Dad Haynes just got back on Sunday from a two week trip to Mabton, Washington where they visited Karl's brother, Jeff and Amber. Jeff and Dad spent time cooking together and from what I hear Amber and Mom were able to garage sail together. They seemed to have a great time out there and we only wish it it were us cause we miss Jeff and Amber so much. **Love you guys!**

Drop In

My family dropped in today on their way back home. Today they left Pella, Iowa at 4am and are going as far as Sterling Heights, MI to stay with friends. (Google says that's a 9 hour trip, not including Chicago traffic or pit stops!) It's been a long day and a long trip for them. They've been on the road for a week and a half! Pray for strength as they make their last church visits, pack up their stuff, and try to get ready to leave for Papua New Guinea in a month or so from now.

Ingham County Fireworks

Late last-night, long after the boys bed time, we were out watching the fireworks. It was a lot of fun for all of us, setting off our own fireworks, munching on the parade candy, and then watching the big light show. I took several pictures of Chesley and I, but every time Chesley insisted on watching the sparkler he was holding. :) What was I thinking!? Who wants to look at the camera when they can watch the cool sparkler?

Mason's Independence Day Parade

Yesterday we went to the parade in Mason and it didn't take long for Kaden to catch on to the waving thing. It was so cute to see him get so excited and wave both arms like crazy at everyone that went by. Then someone handed out American flags. So, Kaden was waving that for the rest of the parade and all the way back to the car.

What fun it was being a kid, huh? Do you remember? This weekend we enjoyed watching Chesley and Kaden playing in and out their play tent. We left it up all weekend and the boys really had a great time! I only wish I had all day to sit around and play doing whatever I felt like!
