4th Of July

4th of July started at the pool with friends. The girls swam for a few hours and had a great time playing in the water.

Gracyn works up an appetite and spends some time on the sidelines eating snacks.

Time for sparklers and poppers!

Later, Addison and Chloe changed into their matching jammies and went back to watching the show. Maggie the Lab wasn't going to be left out of anything.

10:45pm the fireworks are mostly over and the girls have moved on to a tea party.

Around 9:45, when it finally gets dark around here, it was time for the big firework show in our neighborhood. Our neighbors are serious about the 4th and they have tons of fireworks. Everyone drags chairs out front and we watch as a few of the Dad's put on quite a show. This year, the Bowles were joining us. However, a few members of our party were a little nervous about the fireworks, which resulted in us watching the show from our upstairs windows. The girls had a perfect view and we were in the air conditioning! Perfect. This post is terribly out-of-order. Sorry for the mixed-up pictures, blogger doesn't love me today!
