Independence Day

I love the 4th of July. It is my favorite holiday because you come together as family, there's a BBQ, fireworks, and all sorts of fun! My family celebrated Independence Day on Monday, the 5th of July.

Our celebration started at about 3:00 with a slip n' slide water party put on by my little sister Marla. They had all sorts of fun splashing, sliding, and playing. Well, almost everyone had fun. My little dog Falkor was in on the action, but I don't think he had the word "Fun" in mind.

Roman went surfing on the Slip n' Slide, and then they moved the slip n' slide to the bottom of the playset slide to see if they could slide all the way down.

After the water party wound down and things got put away the kids helped my dad make some homemade ice cream...YUM! They were responsible for pushing the ice down into the ice cream maker machine.

To finish off our day we had a nice fireworks show put on by Paul. Paul's brother Chris and his family even came to join in our fun.
