A Patriotic Party!

For the Fourth of July we invited Grandma, Grandpa, Bill, Becca, Wyatt and Ramona to come over to celebrate America's Birthday! We put together a bbq pulled pork picnic and took in the fireworks over Lake Alice on the third and we loved watching the kid's excitement! The next morning it was waffles with red strawberries, whipped cream and blueberries! Grandpa and Uncle Bill helped assemble our totally awesome new tire swing and the kids and Uncle Bill wore it out! Becca and I got a morning trail run through Ring park and that's where we got the idea of taking the family to wade in the creek during the heat of day! The mosquitos just about carried us off but we all found treasures including a board, bottle and a half dead fish! We snacked on watermelon while we soaked and by the time to leave were all feeling a nap in our near future! After a good long nap and our suits had dried we put them on again for a quick trip to the pool as Jason and Bill prepared our hamburgers and hotdogs! We returned for a lovely birthday dinner on the porch to celebrate Ramona's birthday! Becca made cupcakes and we lit off sparklers and danced the night away!
