Independence Day

Our annual 4th of July tradition is to visit Uncle Walt and Aunt Effie.
They are great company and have a pool and a view.


Looking over their field to the north-west.
Fireworks were to the south-west.

Before fireworks though, we usually go swimming.

The water was PERFECT!

Anthony LOVED being able to go swimming again (incision from port placement is healed!), and he LOVED the fireworks display.

He very happily cooed and clapped several times. :)

The children lavished so much attention on him the entire time we visited with Walt and Effie.

We're so glad to have them here.

Kelly's sparkly nail polish that she did today.

She LOVED the colors, but felt sad that she didn't make them patriotic colors.

Look at the view we get when we visit the track.

Nice, huh.
