Most of the kids & I went swimming in the afternoon. It was a HOT day, as per usual for the 4th around here. 😬
We had some friends & family over for fried chicken, watermelon, etc & some fireworks. We had never done our own fireworks, but Grant bought a few smoke ones for the kids. They had a blast! So much fun.
Some of the pictures seem like duplicates, but are better of one child or another, so I’m included them all. 😊
