July 4th 2014

Lena with eight of her cousins - the two youngest boys aren't here for this picture.

Lena and I had a fantastic time with family this year for the 4th of July but poor Dan had to work and miss all the festivities.  Lena loves spending time with her grandparents and has been asking daily to go to their house.  She had a blast swimming with the cousins and grandma, playing games/toys, getting dirty in the sandbox, and going crazy with excitement during the fireworks show. 
Dan getting patriotic during a World Cup game a few days before the 4th.
Helping Grandma make the baked beans.
Lena picked out her own patriotic outfit for the day.
Enjoying the pre-show with Picolo Petes, snakes, and smoke bombs.
Snuggling up with cousin Winnie
Sparkler fun!
Getting cozy during the big show.
Just where Lena always likes to be...in the middle of the action!
