Because their birthdays are close to the 4th of July celebrating them and Independence Day is usually combined.
It is always such a joy to see the little ones and mark how they have changed. Great-grandson, Henri, here with his mother, Kathryn, is the whose growth is most apparent. Last time we saw him he wasn't walking, now he is. And he just gets cuter and more personable each time we see him.
Henri's big brother, Louis, and his Dad, Travis, were enjoying some age appropriate fireworks.
Louis not only showed me his 'poppers', he shared one with me.
They didn't have to be lit, only thrown on pavement to POP.
Ten year old Greyson, always ready with a smile and hug.
Ayden and Greyson playing in the water.
Louis and Henri doing the same thing. The slip and slide was new and they were all making the most of it.
The high temperatures and sunshine were perfect for their play.
Then Aunt Dominique got in on it.
I think she had as much fun - or more - than the boys did.
While all the fun was going on outside, Dominique's husband Ian was working away installing new ceiling tiles in his in-law's dining room.
I don't think there is much this guy can't do, and he does it willingly.
I think the young ones were going to move the fun to a pool, but it was time for the old folks to go home.
We live close enough to McKinley Lake/Park to see the fireworks from our deck.
Neither of us are big fireworks fans, see a few and that's enough.
I took this picture through the window.
Another birthday and 4th of July celebration in the books.
