July 4th weekend!

Typically we go to Misty's house for the 4th of July to have a cook-out, swim and pop fireworks. But, unfortunately, this year - there was a state wide burn ban. Which means - no personal fireworks.

Our neighbors next door were out of town, and our other neighbors were babysitting the pool - so we hung w/them and swam a lot.

On July 3rd - we met our neighbors (The Jones') at our other neighbors pool, brought our own picnic lunch and swam for a few hours. The boys (totally 6 - her 3 and my 3), had a great time.

The Jones' boys, and Ben, Will & Andy

Little pool fun : )

Popsicle time! This time w/our neighbors dog, Bella : )

We finished hanging w/the Jones' and came home. 

Then the girl across the street, came over to swim and hang out : )

 

 Time for some refreshing popsicles : )

After our company left and it got dark - we went up to the park to watch the fireworks. We only made it in time to watch it for 10 minutes, unfortunately - but it was still nice. Next year, if there's a burn ban and we can't go to Misty's - we'll plan ahead of time and make sure we are able to see the whole firework show.

Until next year .... Happy 4th of July, friends!
