4th of July Festivities

Since I can remember my family has had the tradition of spending the 4th of July together. When we were kids on the 3rd we slept outside on my grandparents lawn. The next morning we would wake up eat breakfast and then get together again later in the day. For the past few years we started doing it at my parents house with my cousins and their kids. We added an outside movie on the 3rd and swimming in the afternoon of the 4th. We also get to enjoy tank firework races and a candy cannon. All a lot of fun and it is one of the few times I get to see my cousins.



Lily was a little bit afraid of the fireworks. But she did like watching them with grandma.



Lily and I swimming. She loves it.

Glad I finally ran into you since we work in the same place and live in the same town now. I think we saw each other more when you lived in Chicago.
