4th of July Fun!

We started out our 4th of July at Abbey's for snack and a cook-out!
The boys were working on putting an invisible fence up so the girls sat on the porch and gossiped =)
After the boys were done, we had the yummiest shish kabobs on the grill, cheesy potatoes, 7 layer salad, and pasta salad, along with some yummy dessert!

the jello cake I made
it looked better on the Kraft Foods Website (wave-your-flag-cake) *lol*

Then we went poolside to cool off

Of course Addy was cute as a bug =)
Shes got her own set of wheels!!

Uncle Rah Rah with Addy

Big brother, Shelden, jumping with Addy

Then we drove back home and went to Hilliard's fireworks!
Doug figured it would be very busy and decided to park "closer" and walk the rest of the way.  I tried to tell him that where he wanted to park (about 1 mile from our house) would still be a LONG walk to the park.  Of course he wanted to try it so 30 minutes later, we arrived all sweaty =)  We took Wesley so of course, he had to be carried most of the way *lol*

The fireworks were great!  We also had great seats b/c we were close which meant that we were rained on with all the firework fragments!  Wesley did great during the fireworks and usually does!  He did get a little antsy during the finale with all the booms!

Then the long walk (2-3 miles) back to our car!  Wesley refused to walk so he was carried the whole way home =)  Silly dog!
