4th of July

We had a really good 4th of July weekend this year. It was really hot - in the 90's all weekend, but it will still really nice. We just played outside a lot in the water and pool and came inside to nap and cool off. We didn't have anything planned and just stayed home, so it was nice not to have to travel or deal with crowds. On the 4th we got together with some of the neighbors, each brought some dessert and just hung out until dark. Several more of our neighbors ended up joining us and we all let off our fireworks - it was a nice feeling of community - and that is what the 4th is all about - Happy 4th of July!

My baby blues

Mel and Owen - you can tell she is still a bit unsure about the whole firework thing!

John was SO not in the mood to take pictures, but I was able to get a few.

Mel and my "flag" cupcakes - very easy and quick, but fun!
