This year for the fourth of July we stayed home -- we usually go to Park City however with Andy's recent surgery we felt like it was too soon to travel that far. We had a nice quiet day -- I did some yard work and wrote a talk for Sunday, everybody slept in and quietly hung out.
Around 2 p.m. Holly and I finished working on an ice cream cake we'd made for the party and then Andy and I went to the pool to walk laps. Andy's been doing that the last week trying to work out gently. Katie was up working at the snack bar so we got to see her and we visited with the Carnevale family too.
At 4:30 p.m. we headed over to the Griffin's house and made sno cones and had sandwiches & chips.
Then we got out our 100 grenades -- green water balloons and the slip and slide, some cups and the hose. And everyone had fun splashing and sliding and playing in the water. Grandpa Griffin especially loved it. He looks forward to our annual water fights!
Since Andy was grounded we put him on a chair in the middle of all the chaos with a hose - so we was fair game to water down but he had ammunition too!!! He wasn't allowed to run and play though. But I think he had a good time anyway!
After the wet down we all had ice cream cake and then headed home to dry off.
The girls came back and watched a movie with Gma and Gpa. Andy and I had a nice quiet evening at home. A little after 10 p.m. the girls came back and Andy and I went for our nightly walk - 1 mile - and there was fireworks all around the area.
It was a fun day!
