Weekend of the 4th

Only a little late... we had a great 4th of July weekend!

We went to the Martin family reunion in our side's usual grays. Here's Julia with her cousin Joel and Aunt Anna and Uncle Stu. Uncle Stu showed the kids their first magic tricks - they were in awe! Sam learned how to slide down a fireman's pole and played with some relatives.
Sophie loved the teeter-totter.
Then back to KC to have a BBQ and fireworks in our cul-de-sac.

Julia hanging out with Baby Will.
Grandpa's looking a little guilty here....
We had a great display!

Then on the 4th we went to Parkville...

where we spent most of our time under a shelter from the down poor of rain that was bestowed upon us. When we finally decided that we had waited long enough and were back in the car, the fireworks started up. So we just watched from the van!

All American Kids!
