4th of July Fun

We had a great 4th of July. My parents and older sister Alecia were out of town so Mary and Uncle Big John were the only ones left so we made plans to have a fun day. Doug did some work around the house and Will and I did some clean up inside the house. 

Later that afternoon we headed to Mary and Johns to drop off the ribs and baked beans and then headed to the pool. Will has been taken swimming lessons for about 2 weeks now and so we thought we would see what he would do in the pool with us. We were told no more floaties or swim ring to help him and we followed just that. Will was a complete fish and daredevil in the pool. He wasn't scared to do anything. He jumped off the side of the pool and swam to us and then basically swam to all of us. He surprised all of us and we were so proud of his accomplishments. 

Then after all that swimming we had to take a cookie break and a few pictures. 

After swimming we headed to Mary and Johns to reheat the ribs on the grill and eat dinner before we headed to watch the fireworks downtown. Mary and John bought and redid my grandmothers house and it was so nice that night that we sat outside and ate dinner. Will thought it was fun to water "wah wah" Mary's back porch and sweep it off too. 

We had a great dinner. Doug prepared some awesome ribs and baked beans. Mary and John had deviled eggs and rosemary bread and dessert. It was all so delicious. 

After dinner Will got fussy so we had to take a quick power nap before we left at 9 to go watch the fireworks. After his quick nap we loaded up and got our seats ready to watch the fireworks. Will loved the fireworks. He called them the "pow pow." He oohed and aahed as the fireworks were shot. Then after it was all over he passed out. 

Overall it was a FUN Fourth of July!!!
