Happy 4th

We had the Gehretts over for a BBQ on the 4th.

It always cracks me up how these 2 friends, Ady and Anna, who are less than a year apart are so different in size.  They almost look like they could be a 3 Stooges act. 
Sometimes they act like them too...
I am usually on the ball with our 4th of July outfits...
 but this year the day arrived and we realized no one had anything to wear...
except for Kaden.
So, we pulled out what we did have and started a painting project that ended up taking the whole afternoon but
it actually turned out funner, and cheaper had we bought the shirts.
The girls were quite pleased with their creations.
We went to the fire works in Carnation.  
a small town
so we didn't have to beat the crowds. 
No crowds and pretty decent fireworks...
for a small town.

The dad's kept themselves busy being nerdy and talking I-Phones the whole time.
It started getting cool... no cold
as we sat and waited.
We had to snuggle and even bring out towels from the car to get warm with.
Pete and Kristen Gehrett and their 5 kids are super fun people
so we certainly weren't bored waiting for 2 hours.
And if that wasn't enough we had to come home and do fireworks with our neighbors until midnight.
The ladies, Kristen, Laurie Runyan and I had more fun watching the men do the fireworks.
They got more into it than even the kids did.
God Bless America!
