4th of July

We had a wonderful long weekend.  It actually felt quite relaxing, even for me!  The kids had a great time playing together:

It was extra special because Nick is here from Hawaii and all the kids gravitated to their cousin who put up with an 8, 6 and 5 year old hanging on to him:

Even though the kids spent a lot of time together, Josh always found a way for his own Josh time.  While we were all eating a huge feast...

Josh entertained himself with bubbles... for about an hour.  It's really great to watch him be a kid.

We ended the evening with another wonderful night on the lake watching the fireworks.  Pictures never quite do it justice but they always do a beautiful job.
