A Fun 4th...

As you can tell, I've had a "summer vacation" from blogging. I download my pictures at work, and when the kids are home for the summer, it's hard to be at work and download pictures. We've had an awesome (relaxing, but with no travels :( to the beach) summer so far. I'm eager for the kids to go back to school in 3 weeks so I can get back to my normal working schedule...

Here's some photos of the kids on the 4th of July. My parents were out-of-town, so we dog-sat (and at the same time, pool-sat) for them. We hung out at their pool (and did a little swimming), my cousin (with whom I've spent MANY 4ths with) came over with her boyfriend and her daughter, Avery, and then we walked just past the neighborhood entrance to watch the fireworks at dark....
