4th of July

Yea, yea, yea, I know.  I take forever to add pictures to this blog.  Forgive me.  I don't know where all my time goes.  Here are some pictures from 4th of July.  We had everyone over to our house for the festivities.  Our neighborhood goes all out and they did not disappoint this year.  We bought very few fireworks and only small ones since the ground was so dry....as you can see by the looks of our dead lawn.  Every year it rains on the 4th of July and it makes me mad.  This year I would have welcomed it.

The kids enjoyed themselves and our neighbors, Vince, Carolyn and Adrianna came over to share in the fun.  Riley and Adrianna love playing together and having Adrianna just across the street makes it easy.  I am holding my breath waiting for sleepovers....at Adrianna's house, of course.  Van wasn't afraid of the fireworks at all.  He loved them!  Riley was jumpy but managed.  Overall, it was a good night!
