La felicidad que se encuentra: Kyle, Jenny, Alexa, Tyler, Tad, Liam, Nathan, and Audrey

We hosted the Swingle clan for the 4th of July.  We ate delicious BBQ, swam in the pool, pulled out badminton, corn hole, spike ball, football, frisbee, tee-ball, and fireworks.  Sara and Jason brought their baby puppies and everyone was happy to cuddle them.   Kyle and the kids ran to California the next morning to visit Marmie for a few days.  They had lots of fun. I painted and decorated Alexa's room to be like an ocean (her request) while they were gone.
