This 4th we did a few traditional things and a few non-traditional things. For starters, it was a wet and blistery morning/afternoon and we were worried about the evening fireworks and fun we had planned (of all the days for it to rain in Vegas!!)- but weather didn't scare or intimidate the boys as they headed to the pool anyway for an afternoon dip...while the girls stayed home and took a nap. In the Evening, we got together with our good friends, The Crittenden Family. We had a non-traditional 4th of July dinner...lasagna, garlic bread, salad, jello, and brownies...but with the cool wet afternoon it turned out to be perfect! After a yummy meal and some play time - we headed over to the base festivities...bounce houses, food, rides, and the firework show. The rain in the earlier part of the day ended up being just perfect, because it cooled everything down, but cleared out in time for the fun to go on and the firework show to go on as planned!!! We were in good company, ate good food, and enjoyed some fun festivities... GREAT 4th of July! Happy Independence Everyone!!
Yes, Laura squished herself into the kiddy ride too!!! The younger kids wouldn't ride without her...and hey, it was fun - so Laura wasn't complaining!!
