July 4th

We had a fantastic July 4th! The day was spent swimming, eating, visiting, laughing, and having so much fun! We couldn't have asked for a better day.

Sneaky Landon...eating a cookie before dinner



Gavin couldn't resist the birdbath...



My kids had to test the corn before the picnic started. It passed inspection!






All the food was SO good! The weather wasn't too hot and it was nice sitting on the back porch.

Kylie was "too old" to sit with us. She had to sit with the big kids...



Gavin decided he wanted watermelon. He no more than sat down when Landon wanted to share. They would each take a bite and then put the watermelon back in the bowl. Landon quickly decided he didn't really want watermelon anymore.



Landon didn't care about the watermelon anymore so Gavin finished it off.



Gavin had to lick all that watermelon juice off his fingers!



Who knows what Gavin was looking at!


Landon was actually looking for birds



The fireworks started WAY before dark. Everyone migrated from the back to the front at the first bursts of sound. Kylie kept saying the sun would NEVER go down! Gavin liked the fireworks. At first, Landon said he was scared (he associated the noise with a storm, which he hates). Then, as it started getting dark and the good ones were being set off, he said, "the firecrackers are pretty".
