Happy 4th of July!

We spent the 4th of July having fun and hanging out with friends and family.  This year we did not buy any fireworks for a number of reasons.  Though, that was not a concern because we have a big tub full of a variety of fireworks from last year.  We did do some fireworks, mostly ground ones with a  few parachutes, but not much for aerials because it is so dry out!

Before the fireworks started the kids had a great time playing on a "slip and slide".  Thanks Lesters for having us over!

William loved running down the tarp.

Bailey and Julianne making their way down the slip and slide.

William even got adventurous and slid on his tummy.

Katelyn getting a turn in too!

William was bored with the water, so he decided the rocks were where he wanted to play.  *Surprise, surprise!*

When he was done William laid his towel out to dry off.

Fireworks time!

 William enjoyed the fireworks as long as he had the ear muffs on.

My pride & joy....Katelyn, William, and Julianne.

Striking a pose.  Happy 4th!

Sweet & innocent.

I couldn't get a picture of him without the ear muffs.

Sisterly love.  As I was taking this picture Julianne said, "Please don't post this on Facebook."

We hop you had a Happy 4th of July.  The freedom we have is because of those who came before us and those who continue to serve our country and fight for our freedom.  Thank you to each and everyone of our service men and women for all you do.  

LET FREEDOM RING!
