We were so delighted to have Stephen and Katie over the July 4th weekend!
We simply had to go to the coffee shop so Katie could get her iced mocha fix. :) Stephen, Katie, and I had fun visiting together and running into friends/acquaintances!
:)
After the coffee shop, we stopped by Daddy's workplace to give him an iced mocha

"Let's go eat!"
Dinner! What a great meal.
After dinner, we headed to one of the best dessert places we know of

Stephen tried out their son's toy. On the packaging for the shield it said "Warning: This is a toy. Does not provide protection.".....just in case you weren't clear on that :D
