Paul and I hosted our annual "Around the 4th" cook out, swim party, and firework show yesterday and it was amazing. People started showing up at 1:30 in the afternoon and the last party patron left at 10pm. The kids were exhausted from all the time in the pool, the food was wonderful, the adults rotated from cooling off in the pool to sitting on the deck visiting. The weather was fantastic. I think it only reached the 90's here in the Lone Star state, hot enough for good swimming but cool enough not to be miserable in the heat.
The most famous question of the day: "Now what is the date for next year?". We are really not sure about that yet, but considering it should be Avery's debut at the cook-out I am sure it will be a blast!
Now on to the pictures:

Paul chillin' in the pool. Those noodles really come in handy.
The kids enjoying the deep end. At any given time there were at least 12 kids in the pool. I think there was a line at the diving board the majority of the day. Some of the adults even took the plunge but no pictures were allowed.
Bailey strikes a pose while jumping.
Wave to the camera Courtney.
Paul and Trinity enjoying the water.
Montana with his massive water gun.
Andrew was scared to jump off the diving board so Paul took him for a jump.
Bailey, you are supposed to get out of the pool to do your sparkler....
Some of the adults had a front row seat for the firework show.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and hopefully by these pictures you can tell a fun time was had by all!!
Special thanks to my mom and dad for opening their home and their pool to all our friends. You guys are the best!!!!

Looks like so much fun! Sorry we missed it!
Oh yes, I want to know the date for next year so that I can get it on my calendar now! I'm so sorry that we didn't make it -- Mia teething, no sleep, their 1/2 year birthday party the next day equals one wiped out Mommy. We look forward to making it next year to enjoy sparklers and fireworks with Princess Avery!
Ok - I'm thinking I need to be put down on the list for next year...those are some kind of fireworks!
And we'll all have our girls - whoopee!
