the 4th

I'm finally getting around to posting our 4th of July pictures...

I think this is my favorite holiday in our town (do I say that every holiday?). RK and I tie-dyed matching red white and blue shirts, I painted all my family's faces and we headed down to the waterfront for a yummy picnic and fun!

Pop and Sam enjoying the big finale of the day...firworks. When asked about the festvities Sam replied, "BOOM!" He loved it. We ended up in a big circle of chairs with our family, Nana, Pop, Mimi and Uncle, our "best" neighbors and lots of really good friends chatting, eating popcorn, snowcones and tacky patriotic cupcakes with blue icing while dancing with Sam to the Chicken Dance...is this a great country or what?!
