Happy Independence Day!

What a great day!  
Our Fourth of July began with a ward breakfast at a nearby park.  We ate, the kids played, and when it started to get too hot we boogied...to the swimming pool.  It was a perfect day for the pool and not too crowded.  Just the way we like it.  Next, we headed home for lunch and a nap.  The kids were in need of both!

That evening we headed to our friends house for some BBQ and fireworks.  
We had a great time relaxing and enjoying the evening.  

Dane and Ryan (one of his good friends) getting ready for the fireworks to begin.  What is better than two two-year olds with popsicles?

Eliza LOVED the fireworks!  Can you tell?  After every firework she cheered.  
What a sweet girl!

We bought some "sparklers" for $1.00...and that was about what they were worth.  
Oh well, I suppose to a two year old and one year old the high quality  sparklers will have to wait!

It was a low key day but a great day.  Sure, we live 20 minutes from our Nation's Capital but I am not sure Washington DC could top our little Fourth of July.  Breakfast, pool, naps, and relaxing with friends- sounds all-American to me!  
Thanks to our good friends who took these pics and fed us some good BBQ!

You guys are such a cute family. Can't wait to see what baby # 3 will look like. I want to see you! What days are best?

I don't know... Dane's face looks pretty dejected about his $1 sparkler.
