Happy Independence Day!!!

Just 3 short years ago-

It took a little more encouragement to create the pose this time around-

 Just 5 short years ago- 

 Our smart, sweet, funny Zander still enjoys to be buried in the sand-

 Snoopy buddies...a free treat from the celebration-

 Sand trap fun, playing before the incredible fire works show-

We hope that everyone has a safe and happy 4th!  We had a blast with friends at the fireworks celebration last night, and a great time at our neighborhood parade this morning that even included Vegas and Ruby festive for the holiday.  Then we all worked hard....I had an important project, and Zander earned a new book for his Kindle by washing my car (with the help of Rick and the twins).  Now it's off to continue our celebration with our good friends from our old 'hood!  Happy Birthday America!
