We got together with our friends for our 4th Annual Independence Day BBQ. I can hardly believe we have been doing it this long. We started at 5pm and enjoyed some yummy food. Then the kids played in the water features while the parents visited. When it got dark enough, we went out front to light off some fireworks. The neighborhood we do it in always has one person down a few houses that has great fireworks, but this year, we had a few of them too. The Dad's put on the show while the rest of us just sat back and enjoyed it. The kids really liked the fireworks and even played with some sparklers. We all had a great time.

Playing in the yard.
The kids really liked the slip and slide, although they never really got the hang of the whole "slip and slide" part.
Playing in the kiddie pool.
The kids played with sidewalk chalk for a while too.
Dinner was so yummy! We had BBQ beef sandwiches, baked beans, deviled eggs, green salad with strawberries,
watermelon, chips, and lemonade. For dessert we had
chocolate chip cookies and a delicious Trifle.
