4th of July in WV and Happy Birthday to Jason and Brooke!

We went to WV for the 4th of July (we hadn't been there in FIVE YEARS!) We had a great time with the Detricks. We watched Fireworks (and Ruby was really scared and kept asking to go home during the fireworks). We also went to Jason and Brooke's birthday party. The kids had a great time playing with the Detrick kids. Ruby and Brooke are inseparable when they are near. Thomas is impossible to take a picture of... he moved faster than the camera can focus on him! He had dirty feet the whole time we were there, like a true Mountaineer (and he got to pee outside a lot). Ruby loved being able to go outside and swing whenever she wanted to since we didnt have to worry about her getting into the road. While we were there, Tara told Ruby to stop picking her nose. Ruby stopped. Then she told Tara "BIRD! BIRD!" and pointed out the window. Tara turned and looked, but there was no bird. When Tara turned back to Ruby, Ruby had her finger in her nose and said "HAHA! I am sneaky like a fox!" We had a nice trip. Thanks, Detricks for hosting us and putting up with us! We also saw Erin and Will and Mandi and Sheri, but we didn't get any pics with them :(
