4th OF JULY--THE FINALE

After the throwdown, the kids decided they wanted a sibling picture.
The traditional look to the side, picture. I don't know when this started, but we always have to include one of this pose.
Then they conferred and decided on an old fashioned straight faced picture. The problem was they couldn't keep a solemn face. The boys finally got it, but the girls were having a hard time! Maybe we should separate them.....

Take 22. Natalie still had a bit of a smirk. But this was as close as they got. Check out Josh's sumburn. He and Mere went to the beach on Friday with some friends, and he thought he didn't need sunscreen because he was under the umbrella. He learned that just like water, beach sand reflects the sun too. Right on to unprotected him. Ouch. His knees and feet are the worst.

Okay. Now time for silly. Mike didn't get the memo.

Ooooo. A full moon for the coming fireworks!

Pretty sunset.

We took the truck up the street to the top of the hill and put blankets in the back and watched about 4 different shows going on.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, EVERYONE!
