4th of July

We had a great 4th of July this year. We spent the morning at the pool playing. It was hot! Finally! Then we decorated bikes and participated in the neighborhood party. We had a great time. We're so lucky to have such wonderful neighbors. We ate burgers, hot dogs, and enough chips and cookies to make us kind of sick. Then we tagged along with Jenny and Luke, our backdoor neighbors, and the Petersons and enjoyed the fireworks at the Air Force Academy. The kids had a great time running up and down the hill and eating Jenny's delicious homemade ice cream. They all wanted the fireworks to keep going. We haven't seen fireworks in years, but now that we know about the ones at the Academy, I am sure we will keep doing that. They were fantastic. Following are pictures of the festivities. Notice Justin's blue crocs. His 3rd pair and 3rd color for the summer. Love the no-ask return policy at REI. They were worth every penny.
