I’m a little behind and a little out of order, but it’s only because we’re having so much fun I don’t have as much time to blog.

We spent this 4th of July celebrating a cousin’s birthday. She’s the same age as Brooke and they get along beautifully.

The kids loved hanging out with family,

enjoying the warm water

showing off new tricks, 

and having good, clean fun.

After we dried off and polished off lots of food,

including this rainbow cake we contributed to the spread,

we took in a half dozen fireworks, including the show at the Inner Harbor.

We couldn’t have come up with a better way to spend Independence Day.
