I think the best part about family and friends is that you can have next to nothing planned and end up having a lot to do when it comes to things like the 4th of July. I started mine with a short run, and then I headed to my mom's for a mid day BBQ at the pool with my brother, his wife, and my nieces.
This is Kaley (4 years old) on the left and Lindsey (2 years old) on the right. As you can see, I taught Lindey how to swim. She is currently wearing enough floatation equipment to gear up a small rowboat. Kaley is also a good athlete, she plays soccer and softball, but she is an an even better trash talker. These apples don't fall far from the Barber tree, that much is certain.
Later in the afternoon I caught up with some friends at Angela McNutt's party.
Angela rented some canopies that really helped us beat the heat as it was pretty warm that day. We had lots to eat and drink as well, it just wouldn't have been an American holiday without family, friends, and way too much food.
Angela just bought an iPhone and we all took turns playing with it. All of us except for Marlies who not only couldn't be bothered with it, but by the looks of this photo she wasn't putting up with ANY unnecessary bullshit.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice....
After the party, most of us went to Shoreline to see the fireworks to celebrate our independance. After the 15 minute show, it took us 90 minutes to re-gain our freedom from the parking lot... Hope you all had a great 4th of July!
