4th of July

After a super busy weekend (three birthday parties and a get together with some high school friends), we slowed down to enjoy a low-key 4th of July.  Personally, I kind of liked it :)  We spent the day doing some projects around the house, and then my sister and her family came over in the late afternoon to swim.  We headed up town in the evening to meet up with more family and friends to enjoy dinner in the park.  After dinner and some games, we headed out to the farm for our own personal seats for the firework show.  Andy had taken some time in the afternoon to mow down some of the grass and spray for mosquitos...it was a nice place to see the show without all of the crowds.  All in all, it was a great fourth!

How did you celebrate the fourth?
