Independence Day

Stealing kisses from Gunnar

On Independence Day, we went to a birthday party for our friend, Nation.  He was turning 4 and he had a Batman pool party.  The kids had tons of fun swimming and eating yummy cake.

That night we had my sister and her family over for fireworks.

Celeste and Gunnar decided they weren't a big fan of the noise and went to bed.  The other children loved it.  All of the neighbors came outside and set their fireworks off as well.  It was a fantastic day!
