Time is sure flying by, seems like we just had the 4th of July! I'm a little behind as it appears. We had another great 4th of July, starting out with our annual Fete on the 3rd.
The kids adore bouncing around all of the inflatables while we wait for the sun to set. And us parents enjoy socializing with friends who are more like family.
This Ninja Warrior type inflatable had us cracking up. Check out the video below....we are good parents, I swear!
As we settled into our usual spot, we waited for the sun to set and enjoyed the company surrounding us. Some long time family friends on one side, and some new ones on the other. The kids oooh'd and aaah'd at each firework that boomed above us. I absolutely adore the beauty in the reflection of the lake, almost as much as I love this sweet face.
The next day we were greeted with rain and thunder. We almost thought our pool party would be cancelled, when the clouds eventually broke away and the sun came out. Sidney insisted on making our annual "flag cake", even walking up to the store to buy a few more ingredients.
Ryan enjoyed giving us his own show from the end of the driveway. Not to worry, the rest of us were tucked up close to the house, safe and sound :) Our kiddos seemingly love this stuff as much as he does.
His finale was quite impressive!
We ended the evening with a night swim, complete with the pool light illuminating the backyard. It's been tradition for as long as I can recall, and something that the kids look forward to all year long! It won't be long and our night swims will become common place, but in this current state, of 9pm summer bedtimes, it's definitely a treat they all enjoy.
