4th of July Fun

With the 4th being on a Sunday this year we were able to spread the fun out over two days because Monday was off for most. We had a great time being with family enjoying the outdoors and the not too hot So Cal weather.

Gavin and Brielle took some time to eat ice cream cones in Grandma's backyard. It is a tough job but someone has to do it!

On Monday while Brielle was taking a well deserved nap we got in the pool for a nice relaxing dip. It was relaxing at least until Ethan joined in and starting to splash every where! Ok, James precipitated the disruption a little as well.

We had a yummy BBQ block party at some friend's house on Monday as well. Kids got to get the hands on some sparklers and they were hooked after the first one. Luckily Mom was there to make sure that nobody got hurt.

Crazy as it might seem, the "Firework" setting on the camera actually worked pretty well. I know all it really did was tweak the ISO a little and increase the exposure time, but hey we will take what we can get. What a wonderful way to end our Independence day celebration!
