4th of July

We had a fun holiday this weekend and really enjoyed being all together. It was fun for Dave to have work off and to just enjoy each other. Although, the kids kept asking him when he was supposed to go back to work. :-) I guess 3 day weekends seem long to them! We spent Friday at my Dad's house swimming and unfortunately we all got a bit fried. That's what you get when every one of us has borderline albino skin. And then we had pizza and did some of our own fireworks with a couple of my sisters and their kids. Then we got to go to bed early! It was really nice. And Saturday we enjoyed just hanging out for the day with not much to do. I love that! Anyway, thought I would share some pics from the weekend.

Matthew does this great dive where he has to run all the back on the grass and jump off the diving board. I'm not sure it makes a difference in his speed, but he loves doing it, so hey!

My sister Catherine being nice enough to swim with my kids!

Catherine and my sister-in-law Marianne (Adam's wife).
Alec my brother-in-law (Annie's husband) poor guy had stomach surgery and can only drink Gatorade and stuff like that, thus the blue tongue.

My nephew Owen was ticked cause he got his hand "stuck" in this mug! hilarious!
