4th of July!!

We had a great 4th! The Christensens, David & Noel and Kierstin and her kids came over for a BBQ-swim party! We ate LOTS of good food, swam and went to watch the fireworks show. It was the perfect 4th until the Monsoon storms started brewin! We took our blankets and chairs to our usual "spot" for the fireworks show and instead of watching a fireworks show, we watched a lightening show (which was pretty cool at times)! The fireworks were cancelled, we decided, after goofing around for an hour or so! So I guess we should've checked the news first, b/c the storms were already starting-we just didn't think about it! Reguardless, it was nice to just all hang out together in the breezy night air! It never rained but the wind was blowing pretty steady and throughout the night sand storms blew in and out (our pool told us that the next morning!). oh- and just incase anyone's wondering, Jacob was with us enjoying the day, he just refused to be in any pictures! The only things missing were my mom and dad, who are usually here visiting during the 4th. They will soon be arriving, so we have that to look forward to!
