July 4th (part 2)

Happy Birthday, America!!

What a fun day! We went to the local catholic church in Roswell to get ready for the days/nights festivities and fireworks. Reed and Nolan made some new friends but when asked what their new friends' names were, "Uh, I dunno," was all we got. Oh, the joys of being a kid and just having fun with other kids regardless of their ages, status, or social skills...must be nice!

Two visions in white, if I do say so myself!

We ate cookout food, played soccer and lacross and then threw snap-pops at the ground...or the adults feet, which ever came closer. These kids were ruthless! All except for sweet, sweet Charlie. He just had a blast watching the other kids laugh at our pain ;o)

And then came the rain. We thought we were in the clear after the 5 o'clock shower, but the 8pm downpour had us all running for the hills! We tried to stick it out as long as we could, but when there was no sign of clearing up in sight, we packed everything up and headed home. Fireworks on tv just aren't the same! Maybe Mother Nature will be kinder to us next year.
