What a great 4th of July! We spent the morning getting ready to host the youth group for a day of swimming. I am sure daddy was out weed eating in this photo. He got a new toy and was enjoying it...ha, ha.
I had some big helpers getting things ready today.
And the partygoers' arrived ready to swim....despite the fact that it was pouring down rain. And every last one of them swam. In and out of the hot tub, and they had a great time.
We enjoyed some burgers and then lit a fire. Yes, swimming, rain, and a much needed fire in the same day?!?
Then it was off to the fire works at Washington park. They were really good this year. Long and very loud - fun time by all!
Sam thought the firecrackers were loud.
So did Joe, probably at Sam's suggestion.
Sam really liked them this year. Before they began he said we were waiting for the funcrackers. After a few had been let off, he proclaimed that one was a real graham cracker...that got a few chuckles.
Joe made a lot of oooohh's and aaahhh's. His eyes were so bright and mouth was wide open!
Happy 4th of July everyone! We are so blessed to live in the land of the free and home of the brave!
