Swimming and Beer on the 4th of July... What More Could You Ask For?!

We wrapped up the day out by the pool!  I'd say we ended up having a great day!

Happy 4th!


There's Uncle Mike tormenting Joshua yet again!


But little does Uncle Mike know, Joshua has a trick up his sleeve...


Let him get a little closer...


A little closer...


Almost there...


Get him, Uncle Andy!!!


Mission accomplished!
 

After that, Joshua started taking matters into his own hands...


Think you can dodge my super Z-spray, Uncle Mike?!  Just try!
Wait, what's that on your shirt and in your beer... looks like water!  Ha ha!

Family Photos and Relaxing at Home on the 4th of July!

After that parade we headed home to cool off!  Uncle Andy, Aunt Jenn, and Gadget joined us for the rest of the day.

The Belton Texas 4th of July Parade!

We made our way to the famous Belton Texas 4th of July Parade this year!  I think after all our cheering it will now be referred to as the "World-Famous" Belton Texas 4th of July Parade!

Alyssa, Joshua, Lila, and Clara getting their parade faces on!


Ready and waiting!


Practice wave!


More practice... what a team!


Let the parade begin!


She didn't last too long...


We've got some great flag waving going on here!


More parade, please!


Happy Birthday, America!


What's coming next?


Marching band!


Fire trucks!  Now we're talking!


Ladder truck...


Dad's next lawnmower when it's time to upgrade...


Our friends Erika and Brody!


Alyssa with Uncle Mike...


For some reason Uncle Mike didn't want a picture with Joshua, so Joshua was left posing next to the Crapper Car... better luck next time Joshua!


Joshua making his "poop face" by the Crapper Car... just kidding... it was bright out there!


Cheers!


Nice waving!


Look who woke up!


Dad and Alyssa


Dance to the music!


Wave at the floats!

Beat the Heat!

Uncle Mike came out to visit.  He was tired of the perfect San Diego weather.  He was looking for something that would make him sweat... and he found it!  Here are some pictures of everyone cooling off in the pool!

Even this one thought it was hot enough to swim!


Still a little uneasy...


But she's coming around!


Now this one here LOVES the water!


Now where's that Joshua?  There he is!!


And there's Uncle Mike... trying to drown Alyssa... hmmm...


What are you doing out there, Joshua?


Watch out for Uncle Mike!  He apparently likes to try and drown his nieces and nephews!


Run, Joshua, run!


Saved by the pool!
