fireworks, hula hoop class, and pottery painting

so we went to the fireworks at a lake which was so beautiful

and after taking a picture together 

the fireworks went off

and they

were

beautiful

the next day or so after Rita and I went to a hula hoop class, where I learned to swing it around my neck

down around my shoulders

around on my hand

back around my waist

then back onto my hand

it was a really silly and fun way to exercise 

then on Thursday we went to paint pottery, and there was had just been a huge flood, no big deal

and the place was really cute inside

before...

and after

Jacob painting his plate

before..

and after!

and Jacob's final plate. It was so much fun and I can't wait to see what they look like in the end!
