Fun on the Fourth

This is the best picture of the fireworks that I could get...

We had a very fun day on the fourth, Tim got up in the morning and starting preparation for our b-b-q. He made pulled pork and ribs, along with baked potatoes and corn on the cob, they were sooo good. After dinner we headed to a parking lot next to Peoria Sports complex. We took lots of water, Popsicles and of course watermelon with us. We had a really good time hanging out and visiting.

Here is Aunt Rachel holding McKenna in the back of Aunt Jessica's new Yaris.

She looks very pretty in her red, white and blue.

As a background to this picture, Griffin hated fireworks last year but we were hopeful that he would forget and enjoy them this year. Well, when the first one went up in the sky and made that loud boom, the fear and uncertainty kicked in again and it started to scare him. But as long as dad or papa was holding him, he really had fun. He woke up the next morning asking to see fireworks again.

It was a really fun day and the best part, other than being with my family, that night McKenna slept from 10:30 to 6:30, and Griffin slept in until 9:15 the next morning, yeah for Mom!!
