The Fourth is always so much fun for our family! Some years we have a party with our neighbors, other years we just play and party with family. And some years it's a little of both!
This year started out with a pick up soccer game with our friends! Cubby stayed at home with Britta and did a little food prep while I took the four other kiddos out to play.

Next up was some swimming!! This year we were invited to our friend's, the Olsons, parent's house. (We've gone there before on the Fourth--always a fun time!)
Soooo why is Cubby giving us a duct-taped thumbs up? Well, let me tell you. As we were finishing up soccer, I called Cubby and let him know we were going to stop and buy a few fireworks (we never buy many--they're dangerous and a waste of money. Still, they're fun, so we buy just a few.) Anyhow, I called and asked how home was. His reply, "I think it's fine. Your mom's there with Britta. I'm at Urgentcare right now." {What??!} I guess when he was slicing tomatoes, he also sliced a pretty deep gash in his thumb with our uber-sharp Wustoff knives. Yikes.
So, technically he wasn't supposed to get his stitches/bandages wet. But, it was hot and we were at a swimming pool! So, I told him to wrap it in plastic and duct tape. Done. Boom. No water entered that wound!

After swimming we came back home for some grilling and good times with our family! Grandma and Grandpa, Great-Grandma, and Auntie Erin came by too.
After dinner, it was time for our little pyrotechnics show! The girls all thought it was loud. Christian was all about it.
Pretty Ju Ju. So patriotic.
All in all, it was a beautiful and fun Fourth! We are so blessed to live in a country where we can live and worship freely. God bless America!
