July 4th

The Fourth of July looked a little different this summer but I think the kids had an absolute blast and we pulled together a celebration that resembled what we are used to.  We all missed the big July 4th party at Wedgewood but we were thankful to be able to go to the pool during the day and then the men of McDowall Drive put on a legit firework show on our street later that night after a cookout with good friends and neighbors.  The kids ran around, the adults got to hang out and everyone had a great holiday.

Her smile always come along with her tongue these days.  She also doesn't go to the pool without baby and bucket.

The kids have been dying to buy a "Captain America" slushie at the pool since the pool opened.  It is the slushie of all slushies.  Red, white and blue slushie with a bomb pop in it.  I think the slushie costs roughly $8 or something ridiculous so they were super excited to finally get one.  It was worth the wait.

Fireworks prep.

The show was about to start.  Nolan was SO interested in the step up and process of lighting the fireworks.  He stayed back but wanted so badly to be one of the big guys.

                      

                      

Nolan wore a hard hat and ran around like a wild man every time a firework was going off.  Pure joy and excitement out of that kid.
