4th of July Fun!


This year, we had a BBQ at our house to celebrate Independence Day. Uncle Andrew and Aunt Kitty were able to come up from NC and they even brought their niece Ashton, from West Virgina. Caitlynn met Ashton last summer but this was the first time she had seen Luke. Ashton loved holding and playing with him. Pop-pop, Nonna and Uncle Richie came down from NJ and Laura's cousins Lynn, JL, Betsy, and her boyfriend Brian stopped by too, as they are all local. We had a great time grilling out and enjoying lots of yummy food, desserts and beverages. It was quite hot and it eventually rained, which gave us a cool evening to set off pop rocks and sparklers. Caitlynn loved throwing the pop rocks and watching the sparklers. She even held one on her own! Almost everyone spent the night and we enjoyed some down time on Monday just hanging out at the house. The girls did a little shopping and later decorated t-shirts with puffy paints. Caitlynn decided everyone shirts were not complete without her hand prints. She was a mess! Luckily, her pool was filled so she was able to get cleaned off outside. We had fun spending time with our family!
