Happy Fourth of July

We have a new tradition of celebrating Independence Day at Grandpa & Nana's house. All family and friends were welcome. There was, as usual, way too much good food, no crowds and a lakeside view of the area fireworks. The youngest boys played in the kiddie pool, splashed the adults and occasionally slipped and fell on tile (No permanent damage, though). Jacob brought a friend and they fished off the dock and took lots of breaks to eat. All the kids got nice and full, dirty and sleepy. There was no trouble sleeping that night! Aunt Rhiannon broke out the sparklers, after dark and everyone but Matthew enjoyed those. He preferred the quiet, air conditioned house and being passed back and forth between Grandmas. Everyone watched the big fireworks for a little while before Pajamas were distributed, hands and faces were washed and the leftover food was divvied up. It was another great holiday and we're looking forward to the next one!!
