Fabulous 4th!

We had a very nice 4th of July.  It started with a wonderful breakfast at a friend's house, some much needed yard work, and a dip in the pool.
The kids LOVE it when Josh gets in the pool to play with them. 
 The pool has definitely been one of our best investments for the kids.  They jump in when they want and we rarely have to go anywhere for entertainment.  It is a pain to keep it clean but oh so worth it!
 Most of the time we have lots of kids in there so the pool shakes like a bowl full of jello!!
 Later on we went downtown for the festivities.  Well, all the festivities were money suckers so we walked back over the bridge to our cars.  On the way, we saw some of our friends on their boat.  Good timing!!!
 Back at "camp", we had homemade banana ice cream, pie and lots of fun!!
 Here is the view of New Bern from where we sat.
 We also had sparklers for the kids and they LOVED it!!!
 Sparkler dance by Maddy!!!
 Mr. and Mrs. Martin 
 Carla let the kids do a whipped topping eating contest.  That was fun!
 And my favorite picture... the kids sitting quietly and enjoying the beautiful fireworks. 
Do you like Blake's head phones??  He was afraid of the loud noises - pretty typical of our family!!
Happy 4th!!!
