Happy 4th of July!!!

Today was a gorgeous day!!! Blue skies.....and HOT!!! LOL



We had a a really fun day today. This morning we went to a bbq at Nana and Paw Paw's (Mike's Dad) house,to celebrate the 4th with family. And then came home and Uncle Joe came over to put off some fireworks in the backyard, later on when it got dark out. Overall a really great 4th of July, and Benjamin thoroughly enjoyed the fireworks this year...that is enjoyed them while covering his ears. He kept saying they were too loud, but then was upset when they were all over. :)

Here are some pictures from today....

Picture of all the kids, after Ben encouraged them to join in on getting dirty (much to their parents dismay)


I don't have any pictures of the fireworks, as I had forgotten my camera after all the festivities....but here is a picture to give you an idea from last year. lol



And just to compare, here is one from last 4th of July!! Wow, how Benjamin has grown!
