4th of July

Unfortunately this year the 4th of July fell mid-week and both Matt and I had to work the next day. So we opted to go see fireworks at a local river town...on the 3rd of July.

For the 4th we were invited over to Matt's parents' home. Where we were joined by his brother, his gf, and our niece. There was TONS of food but...one little (or rather not so little) grease fire broke out on the grill, hence the baking soda and fire extinguisher!

(Can you tell they're brothers?!? Both refused to just smile! grrr)

The word of the afternoon was "swimming"! So we got Lillie's tutu swimsuit on and headed outside where her pink princess pool was waiting! Although the weather was HOT (notice the temp gauge) the pool felt good...even when Lillie was "swimming" and getting us wet.

All the swimming worked up an appetite so we headed inside (for some much needed a/c) and Lillie "needed" corn..."corn, corn, corn please!!"  Love that little girl!
