Well, we had a great fourth of July!! We were able to spend the entire day with family, eating and playing in the pool!! We went to Aimee's sister-in-law's house and ate crabs, burgers and lots of desserts!! Yummy!! The kids had a great time in the pool and even the adults acted like kids and a huge water fight ensued!! It was quite a refreshing afternoon!! An all American day!!
Afterwards, we came back home and watched and lit off some of our own fireworks along with most of our neighbors!! We had a very good show all through the night!! Beau didn't last much past nine, but I'm sure he heard it all!

Let me back up a bit...

It has been a very busy month of July!! We got to have Grandma and Grandpa Bell for a while at the end of June, beginning of July... and we didn't want to let them go!!! It was so nice to have them here. They just ooozz with love from every hug and kiss.
While GnG we in Conn. visiting the other Bells, our family celebrated the fourth a bit early and enjoyed fireworks at the Spotsy Courthouse. They had a great little fair with food and rides for the kids and Mamo even found an ancient "toy" from the bowels of the garage. I'm sure they stopped making this because someone lost a finger along the way. The object is to balance a bouy of some type between two people, all the time each other are trying to keep it away from their side... a good arm workout, but it could cost you!! It was fun trying to beat each other and teach the little ones how to play. I think they enjoyed the train ride and fireworks better!!
