Independence Day!!

So as you can see I TRIED to get a picture of my kids on the 4th of July in their cute red, white and blue - but this is the best I could do. Liv obviously didn't want to look at the camera, and in turn Gage was just as preoccupied with looking everywhere else too. Oh well - they're still cute!

We spent the 4th with our good friends the Cromars at their parents pool. The water was the most perfect temperature and there were lots of friends to play with and swim with. Gage has decided he's a fish and loves to float around, mostly by himself with his own floaties on. His favorite was to float to the stairs, climb out of the pool and 'jump' in, not necessarily caring if anyone was there to catch him. Liv played it a little more cool, and stayed clear of any splashing or hair wetting activities that might take place in a pool.





We ended the evening with a dramatic synchronized swimming routine performed by Krista, me, Lindsay and Lindsay. It earned us a 10 from our husbands who then wanted to see a handstand contest, which Krista won hands-down (no pun intended)! We ate yummy bbq and then called it a night. We packed the kids up with promises of doing fireworks when we got home, but the long drive back to the house proved to be too much for our tired little swimmers, and they both conked out before we got home. Dax and I spent a nice evening on our own deck watching the neighborhood fireworks display and called it a night.

Thanks for such a fun day Krista and friends - lets do it again soon. (check out our swimming routine on Krista's blog - I'm sure it's worth looking at!)
