That just about sums up our day on the 4th!
We started the day off at Hillcrest. Lindsay and her new beau, Adam, met us for lunch by the pool, and the kids and Fred swam. Swimming has "clicked" with Mac these past few weeks and now he is holding his own in the pool and off the diving board.
Then it was onto field games. They were so much fun! If my ankle was messed up I would have had more fun, but Fred and the kids participated, and I was able to do the water balloon toss.
Nice feet, Fred, coming out of the bottom of the sack!
The last field game was tug-o-war, this round was boys vs. girls, and in defense of my gender, I am happy to report that the girls won!! :-)
After our fun afternoon at Hillcrest, we headed over to our friend's neighborhood for a 4th of July Block Party. There was tons of good food, great friends, and way to many young kids running a muck with lighters and fireworks! :-) There even was a good old fashion patriotic bike parade!
Just look at the carnage!
Here are some other fun photos from the block party!
Mac having fun with chalk.
We decided to head back over to Hillcrest to get a good view of the City of Boise fireworks display. Here are a few shots I took of the fireworks. Of course, the kids slept through the whole show! Just too long of a day, and it gets dark here in Boise just too late. The show didn't start until 10:15pm! Love being in the Mountain Time Zone, when we really should be in the Pacific!
All in all, a really fun day with family and friends, and we enjoyed being home, in Boise, for the first time!
