The 5th

We kind of spontaneously decided to do a 5th of July party and camp out in our backyard. We BBQ'd, the kids played (swimming pool/bounce house/trampoline/water balloons/volleyball/baseball/soccer/etc!), the adults socialized, we made s'mores, did some fireworks, and a few people camped in our backyard with us (and by "us" I mean John and the boys...I slept in my own comfy bed!). The boys had tons of fun, and we had a pretty good turn-out of about 50 people. It was a lot of work to get ready (and clean up afterwards...we still aren't quite done with that part due to slacking off today), but we had a really good time! 

I didn't take many pictures since I was kinda busy but here are a few!




The 4th

We had a low-key 4th. We were hosting a BBQ on the 5th, so we decided to stay home, work in the yard, BBQ in the backyard, and set off fireworks from our driveway. The boys loved the fireworks, of course...they went through multiple packages of pop-its, and they even got to light a few smoke balls!
