July 4th, 2013

Our friends, Katie, Rick, Caroline, and Will generously invited us to join them at their neighborhood pool the morning of 4th of July. Trey had to go into work to round but was able to join us later in the morning. We brought our lunch and had a wonderful time playing in the pool! Because of all of the rain we have had, the pool was a little cold so Charlotte was perfectly content sitting on the edge and kicking her legs in the water. Henry and Caroline kept us laughing with their hilarious dance moves/jumps into the pool! :-) Katie and Rick then treated all of the kids to a popsicle and some ice cream! We could not have asked to a better start to our holiday!

That evening we invited Trey's co-fellow, Kris and his family over to our house for dinner and then out for fireworks.  The kids had a great time running around outside playing together and Kris even got out his golf clubs to give Henry some golf lessons!  We had a delicious bbq dinner and enjoyed the rare time all together!

Unfortunately fireworks was not as successful.  We decided to watch them from the top of the Target parking garage.  At 930p which was the original start time of the fireworks, it started raining.  At 10p, wet and exhausted and still no sign of fireworks, we decided to call it a night.  Of course as soon as we get into our cars and into traffic the fireworks started.  Henry and Trey jumped out to watch a few minutes and then we all caught a little bit of the show on the drive home.

Grayson and Charlotte being silly before the rain started...


Henry, Barrhet, Grayson, and Charlotte anxiously waiting for the fireworks we kept telling them about!  :-)


Certainly not the most perfect ending to the evening but we could not have asked for a better day with wonderful friends!
