Happy 4th of July!

Hope everyone had a GREAT 4th of July! We actually celebrated on Saturday, the 3rd, because that's when everything was happening in SouthWood. I posted all of these photos last night (many "stolen" from Auntie Jenn, who was also snapping pictures on Saturday) but don't have time to add the "sparkling commentary" now. Vacation Bible School starts this morning .. and we're on our way out of the house soon! So, enjoy the pictures now, and I'll add some explanations later. By way of explanation, I had to post these today because I don't want to get behind with my blogging. Some of you may know, it's birthday week here. Someone is turning the big 4-0!





Tyler tried his hand at the watermelon-eating contest. He's not very fast ... but he's a good sport!

Tyler spent the afternoon with Mommy and Daddy after the morning festivities in SouthWood (see the post "Under Pressure" to find out how much fun WE had!) but Abby got to hang out with Auntie Jenn for the day. I admit, first Tyler was a bit miffed at being excluded from the Godmother-Goddaughter fun, but we had a fine afternoon. However, we decided to give Auntie Jenn some attitude as a joke when we got to her house for the fireworks. Anyone familiar with with Jerry's greeting for Newman on Seinfeld? Here's Tyler's take on it ...

That night, we had a BLAST at the fireworks. SouthWood puts on quite a show ... and so does Jenn! She had water balloons ...
Silly string ...

And the light show she organized was AMAZING! :)

Tyler has come a long way since last year. He only started out covering his ears this year ... but by the end he was saying "oooh" and "aaah" with the rest of us!

Happy Fourth of July!
