Once again we spent the 4th of July with Grandma and Grandpa and Great Grandma and Great Grandpa. We spent the day eating and hanging out. For fireworks we headed to the Great's for a hot dog BBQ and to watch the fireworks from their deck. It is the perfect place to see fireworks - especially with small kids b/c you have an unobstructed view, bathroom a just inside and no traffic on the way home!
New this summer though was what we affectionately referred to as the "Lido Deck". Our neighbors got a large pool for everyone to enjoy - it was so refreshing during those warm summer days :)
Also this summer Speedy and I built a fort with a tent Speedy got from work outside our neighbors door. We thought the 4 and 5 yr olds would have a blast with it...so late one night we went out and set it up only to discover that one of our neighbor's cars was gone.
When Brandon got home at 11pm he called Aimee and asked: "Who is on our porch?" To which Aimee got freaked out and Brandon repeated: "Aimee is someone...sleeping on our porch??" She peeked out the front window and saw the Nabisco flag flying high and knew who the culprit was. So Brandon had to walk through the tent to get in from work and out to work the next morning. When the kids saw it in the morning we brought it down to the yard to play in. I know Speedy and I are weird, its truly the little things for us :)
