4th of July Celebrations

We had a WONDERFUL 4th of July. Fun from sun up to sun down (and beyond). Lots of yummy food and good friends. Couldn't ask for more.

We started the day at the church for a pancake breakfast. Travis made quiche (which was gone in about 30 seconds). Before we left for the church, I made everyone go out and pose for pictures - I knew we wouldn't make it through the day in our festive clothes. :D

After the breakfast, we went shopping for a couple things we needed for dinner later, new sandals for Megan and Jared (how do their feet grow so quickly?!?), and a swimsuit for Kate.

Then we dashed home to start cooking. Travis had big plans for things to take to the Boyer's bbq. Bleu cheese burgers, homemade buns, pasta salad, corn on the cob, and red, white, and blue almond cookies.

Aren't they GORGEOUS? They were really yummy. (although I think they needed more chocolate. ;D)

We had a WONDERFUL time at the Boyers. Someday I hope to be as gracious a host as they are. Everything was fun and relaxed and welcoming. The kids had a blast eating and swimming and playing with their friends.

Even Katelyn got into the pool for about 20 minutes. She absolutely LOVED it.
