4TH OF JULY

I wish I could tell you that this picture was on purpose.

We bought 4th of July flowers, thanks to Publix.

While the men folk were working hard on the fence, We went to Gigi's to watch the Whispering Pines 4th of July parade.

We skip the crowds at the park by watching from her driveway.

How many other mommies out there reuse the Memorial Day outfits for 4th of July? Who's with me?

When you're the best of friends...

The audience (Front row: Sam, Ben, Kayla, Maddie, Joey. Back row: Nancy, Trini, Doyle. Not pictured: Gail, Wayne.

They really have some cute entries.

Joey played with Maddie at Gigi's for a bit while I took Sam home for a nap. Then we went over to the park to take part in those festivities, and Mommy won a certificate for breakfast in one of the raffles! Just when Joey was going to have to leave, we ran into Mat & Mandy and she got to stay with them. After playing at their house for a bit, we all met up at Kaki's house for some swimming. This was Joey's power nap on the way.

Kaki's new pool float.

Mom-Mom's 4th of July/Christmas shirt.

Great photo bomb by Tom.

Watching the Black Point fireworks, parked on the side of the road so we could miss all the traffic.
