Fourth Fun

We have no photos of the fourth of July. And this is why ... we went to a BBQ on Saturday. There was swimming earlier in the day and then we had dinner and did fireworks. In the pool there was this big huge tub for four people (Tim call it an island- it was huge) older kids were jumping on it from the side of the pool. We were all having a great time, and then finshed swimming, ate dinner and were hanging out waiting for it to get dark. All of the sudden Addie tries to jump onto the island in the pool slides off and into the pool. Tim immediatly jumps in with the camera (who cares because he was saving Ad). Ad was fine. It scared her, and she was coughing a lot. We've had a bunch of talks about it. Tim was super close to her, and I wasn't far either. She was trying to be like the big kids and jump on the tube.

She loved the fireworks, and is still talking about them today. She talks about the colors they were. Sunday on the fourth we did some fireworks at the River House, and watched some from the back patio over the river (those were the big ones). That is what Adeline likes to call them. We made a firecracker out of a pringles can, and filled it with homemade carmel popcorn. She loved decorating it, and eating it during the fireworks. I tried to explain to her it is a very special day America's Birthday. So she was singing happy birthday the whole weekend. Today she woke up saying Grammy's house, Pappa, Lily, Ryan, Egg (she calls her uncle Adrian that), and Willy. So, we had a fun weekend celebrating. We are now just trying to recover photos.
