July 4th

This 4th of July we did not walk in any parades...and for that we are truely thankful.  We did meet up with our usual political friends for a big cook out.  Here are the kids, many wet from water fights:

Here is a picture of just the girls.  They were cooperating for the picture a little bit better.  The oldest girl babysits for the girls sometimes when the grandparents are not available. She is homeschooled as well, so sometimes she helps me out if I need a sitter during the day.  She is great and the girls love her.

 And the rockets red glare:
