July 4th!

We had a great Independence Day celebration this year - kind of a 2 day celebration. Friday we went over to Nana and Papa's for swimming and dinner and then Saturday we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for swimming, BBQ, and to have a birthday party for both of them and America.

Here I am practicing America's favorite pastime:

Playing with Grandpa's new bocce ball set inside the house:

A bocce ball game gone wrong (just kidding - Grandpa hurt his wrist weeks ago):


Here's Fiona trying to keep up with me:


Here is Fiona with Grandma right before she went into the pool:

Once she got over her initial fear, she LOVED swimming:

Fiona and I decided not to cooperate with our parents' efforts to get all of us looking at the camera:
