Independence Day

Thanks to hurricane Arthur we weren't sure if we would be able to celebrate the 4th of July. Luckily the hurricane blew out by mid to late morning and the cook out was back on at Nicole and Dave's.

The cook out started at 2:00 and first up was pictures before everyone, especially the kids, went swimming. We missed having Kylie in the pictures.

There was cornhole, food, swimming, a little fishing and lots of fun to be had by all.

Around 8:00 it was time to head over to Kimberly and Jacob's for the neighborhood fireworks. Due to Arthur all city fireworks were postponed till the 5th. We were pretty bummed since it was nice and sunny out but it was still breezy and Virginia Beach lights their fireworks off on a barge so the water was a little choppy still.

We did get to see some fireworks down on their dock which was nice. What's July 4th without fireworks? Noah, Jackson and Haylee stayed down on the dock for a little bit watching them but it ended up being too loud for them so they headed back to the house. They were already too loud for Brayden so he stayed at the house for the whole thing. Hopefully next year a hurricane or rain won't come through so we can enjoy the fireworks.
