We had a nice Independence Day. Corey was off work all day, and he didn't even close the night before. I let him sleep in a little bit (7:30 is sleeping in, I swear!), and then he got up to help with some work. We went swimming at about 9 am for about an hour, while Eliza slept. After swimming, we ran some errands and had lunch at In-N-Out. Then we came back, put kids down for naps, and everyone kind of rested. We went swimming again in the late afternoon, with Eliza this time, right around 4 pm. Then at about 5, we started making the preparations for the barbecue we were having. The kids played out on the back patio on their bikes. They were all still in their swimsuits. Then Toby and Jenny came at about 6 pm, and we all ate. After a delicious dinner of steak fajitas for the adults, hot dogs for the kids, fruit salad, potato salad, and pasta salad, we had root beer floats for dessert. Then we put Travis down to bed (Eliza went down before Toby and Jenny came over). Then all of us (except my parents) went swimming until there was lightning and we had to get out of the pool. Then we went in search of fireworks, but the two churches near my parents house that usually have them didn't this year, so we didn't get to see fireworks. But one of the churches postponed them until Labor Day, so we will go see them then.
Hope everyone else had a happy, safe holiday! We sure enjoyed ours--it's very rare for Corey to have the whole of the 4th off! Hopefully I'll remember to take some pictures in the near future--I keep forgetting to use the digital camera at all!
