Our Fourth!

Well we had a great, small, party for our Fourth of July. It was just my brother Scott's family with his parents-in-law, me and my kids, Scott and Katy's neighbor from Blacksburg and our grandparents. Despite what the pictures don't show, Saidee and Sofia were at the party. But the few pictures I got of them when they were awake were not the best. So no showing of the sweeties in this post.













Katy's mom is one smart cookie. She was given the ever hated job of shucking the corn. Instead of doing it by herself she employed the grandbabies. I don't know about you, but I think the mess is worth the lack of time spent on corn.














All three kids liked to play in the tub filled with ice. From getting pieces to eat to dipping their whole head in. By this time we figured we needed to bring out the pool. And yes, there was nothing other than Mt. Dew in the tub, we love to do the dew!














With the well water being freezing cold, Katy and I lugged out at least 12 big pots of boiling water to raise the water's temp. To add to the festivities outside, Duke (the dog) decided to puke up more ham from the day before, bless Katy for cleaning it up!














Oh, my photography teacher would have loved this... fore/background thing. But I just love this picture. Erica looks ready to pounce on the unsuspecting Aidan.














More shenanigans in the pool. Their cousin Aylor was around somewhere. All three had a hard time staying in the pool or keeping the water in the pool.















At the end of the day.... Though it was warm, without the sun it wasn't warm enough after playing in freezing cold well water.
