4th of July

We didn't have an extraordinarily patriotic day, but we did spend some quality family time together.

 

Tom fired up the smoker and smoked a couple of chickens. (I still don't eat beef or pork.)  While that was going, he set up the Slip-N-Slide for the kids.

 

Micah had tons of fun but had a hard time getting over the inflated bump in the middle of the slide.  Silas liked the sprinkler effect the slide made.  He also liked throwing inflated balls at his big brother as he came down the slight hill.

 

 I know this kid is a bit shaggy.  He needs a haircut and I just can't find time to take him that isn't right in the middle of his nap time.  We'll get there one day.

He loves his hand-me-down towel from his cousins.

 

The rest of the day we relaxed on the patio and played with the kids.  Nothing fancy.  Just us being us.  It was good.

 

Hope you had a nice 4th as well!
