First 4th of July!

Today was Michael's First 4th of July.

Unfortunately we didn't do anything too terribly exciting today.  We hung out at home as a family and did a little grilling.  See?  Nothing too exciting, but it was nice.

We did the"big" celebrating last night.  My sister Katherine, her husband Tony and baby Brooklyn had our whole family over (except for Andy) for supper, lawn games and a dip in the brand-new kiddy pool for the kiddos.

I've come to the conclusion that Michael likes being outside, even though it's hot, but likes being in the shade a lot better.  Looks like he takes after Papa...hanging out in the shade.

Thanks for the fun night, Tony, Katherine and Brooklyn!

On the way home we got to see a few fireworks shows in different communities.  If we're still awake by 10pm tonight, we just might watch some shows from our own backyard.

Happy 4th!

Have a Happy 4th and thanks to all those who are serving or who have served in order for us to celebrate this day of freedom!
