Happy Birthday America!!!

Hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday weekend!

Our 4th of July was GREAT!!!

We had originally planned to go to the beach, but there were some water quality issues along the shore so we went to the local aquatic center.

Not surprisingly, there was plenty of sea life..

Grady was born to swim...


And Grant was born to cause as much trouble as possible...

Not sure why Dat Dat felt the need to capture a photo of the lifeguard... oh wait, that is Todd Jr behind him waiting to plummet down the slide... I swear this is all Todd Jr did the whole time we were there... he loved the slide!

So did Grant... only a much smaller one...
However, the guard did have to blow a 1 whistle at Grant...
NO SLIDING HEAD FIRST!!!

Grady was so happy... he kept clapping... wish you could have seen it... too funny!

So much fun, but so tired.

We knew we would be headed out to the fireworks later so we put them down for a short nap...
I think they could have slept the rest of the day.
Poor Jessie... still not sure what she was up to to be so tired!


You can barely see Grady... but you sure could hear him snore.
Jr. still waking up and ready for FOOD!

Burgers on the Grill....
Lummy, Lummy... (That is yummy, yummy according to Grant.)
Then, off to see the fireworks!
First though, time for a little football instruction...

Catch it!

And a little goofing around..

Dat Dat are you old enough to play with fire?

Don't burn your fingers....
Not like he could hear me.
Did we tell you he had a ruptured ear drum... yikes!

That's it Dat Dat.. hand your three year old a lit sparkler!

I am afraid there were no photos of the actual fireworks, but they were great.

Oh, funny story...
Dat Dat had the boys sing Happy Birthday to America during the day... and we had told them we would go to a party later to see the fireworks... Grant wanted to know if he could have a piece of the birthday cake... too funny!

God Bless the USA!
