4th of July

This year we were invited to our friend's parents home down on a lake. This house was the quintessential party house......a huge kitchen and living area to entertain with, a basement full of toys for children, an indoor pool (yes, you read this correctly, IT WAS AWESOME) and a series of different balconies, patios and decks that overlooked the lake (and a boat to boot). Even though the weather wasn't exactly fourth of july-ish (not sunny) it didn't rain, and we all had a blast enjoying the big party. The kids even dresses up in red, white and blue attire and got to parade around and then have a boat ride around the lake. The extra bonus was that my parents were there to enjoy the day with us and help keep a careful eye on the kiddos, what with all the water around us.
