Oh say can you see!

This fourth of July was really fun! I first spent the day doing much needed shopping with Diane, then we went over to Sarah's for the rest of the day! We had a BBQ with some of the BEST food... (except the salmon.. :S ) and some good times. It was nice and sunny so we were able to stay outside and the boys (and I!!) got to play in their pool. We all played a couple games then it was finally almost dark! Jonny and Andrew both bought fireworks, along with a bunch of the neighbors, so everyone had fun lighting them off. We brought Patrick out too see them.. however he got deathly scared of them and started yelling "night-night night-night!" as he ran upstairs and tucked himself in bed!! That is the first time I have ever seen him so willing to go to bed!

In all, it was a VERY good time!! It's weird to think that last year I was in Iowa and the year before that in Germany.. so it was good to be home again for this holiday!!

Here are some pictures of our day!
Sammy playing with Oma!
Patrick trying to figure out the hose to fill up his pool

Patrick really wanted his picture taken!

Jonny filled his bat up with water and he used it as a squirt gun!
