The closer to the holiday, the bigger the party. We welcomed Chad, Jenn, Cole, Cora and Ryan to the group. We celebrated Poppy's birthday with a homemade cake from two of our favorite chefs.

The grandkids had a ball celebrating on the play deck.
Ava and Cole LOVED floating down the river especially from their boat! The water was a little cool, but the trip was very relaxing. One trip Ava was goofing around and flipped out, but she handled it well saying she "just wanted to swim for a minute." Ha!
We are so lucky because Poppy, his sons and his neighbor Dennis always put on the most amazing fireworks show over the river. All 4 kids enjoyed the fireworks this year. Cora and Jenn did take a mini nap in the car... but considering how loud and late, we were very lucky.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
We appreciate the dedication and sacrifice made so that we can live in a free country.
