Happy Fourth of July!

We celebrated and played today!  It was GREAT!  My folks have an awesome, big backyard.  Our tradition has always been to fill the yard with blowup water toys and then BBQ.  Thank you to both sides of the family who hosted us and made it a magical day!

After a big BBQ we headed up to Aunt Amy and Uncle Carl's house for more swimming and hamburgers.  The kids kept saying "Take my picture doing this"...

 The pictures in the neon green tubes were my favorite:

 And then there is always this favorite game:

Our fourth was sandwiched between a massive 4 day swim meet.  The kids did well--success!
