Independence Day

Happy 4th to our friends and family in the North! For the first time in years, we stayed in NC for Independence Day. In the morning, we joined our neighborhood's 4th of July parade following a local fire truck through the 'hood waving our flags. Then, we headed to the pool for a quick dip and picnic lunch. After a very sleepy afternoon (for all of us!), we enjoyed a quiet afternoon at home. Our neighbors came over for a cookout and--once the kids were down for the night--a game of Battle of the Sexes, which I'm obligated to say that the guys won:(

Here is a picture of the kids (neighbor Noah holding sister Ava, Jack holding Sam) in the wagon. I think I took over 25 pictures trying to get all of them looking at the camera--never happened!
