July 4 Weekend

We had a big shindig for the Fourth of July, with both sets of grandparents and a full compliment of cousins. But before that Avery played with her grandmother in her big rubber boots.

Of course, lots of nice presents were involved too.


Then it was party time. Toddlers and kiddy pools- a winning combination.


Our opportunistic hound waiting for a handout.





One in, one out.




Playing in the front room. Note Audrey about to take a bite out of the doll's head, and Uncle Chris' engineering class.


I wish I could think of something clever to say here, but I can't.


A half wasn't enough. She needed mommy's.
