Independence Day

We had a simple Fourth of July (we did all our celebrating on Saturday, the 3rd) this year. We went swimming in our pool for the first time this year. It was a little chilly because the wind was blowing, but the boys still had fun. Ben likes the pool a lot more this year than he did last year.





(See how the fence is about to fall over and there are missing boards...that's where our dog, Tilly likes to get out when someone holds the pool gate open too long. Then I have to chase her half way around the block and tackle her because she doesn't come back when I call her! Anyone want a dog? :))




When it got dark we set off a few fireworks in front of our house and that was it.

Ahhh to have a pool right in your own back yard. Then again it's nicer to know somebody with a pool so I can just take advantage and not do any maintenance no it. :)
