Happy 4th!!

Wednesday night we had a "pre-holiday" BBQ and enjoyed having all of the babies over for dinner. Chase and Griffin cruised around a lot, while the girls just hung out.

On the 4th we went down to Drew's parents and had a pool party with fireworks to end the night. Griffin was surprisingly interested in the fireworks and sat in our lap most of the show.

We also made it to Jimi and Tammy's annual fireworks show/BBQ but didn't take any pictures. Darn. It was a fun/busy holiday! There's always next year.
