4th of July

We had such a great 4th of July this year. Even though San Antonio is experiencing a major drought, and so we had a burn ban in effect (meaning no fireworks of any kind, at home or even the big firework shows), we still had such an awesome day. It was just perfect! We started off the day with a nice, easy morning - blueberry pancakes and lounging around - while I started working on the flag jello. At lunchtime we headed down to our neighborhood pool where we swam and played and ate with a big group of friends. It was really fun. Then we came home, took naps and cleaned up, and then went to the church for a 4th of July BBQ and bike parade. It was a lot of fun, being there with all our friends, and the kids (and Bryan!) all had a great time riding bikes and running around with their friends. It was an awesome day!
***Note - you may notice that there is a distinct difference between the first few pictures and the rest. That's because my camera ran out of battery and I had to enlist the help of my friend Jenni to capture the evening's pictures for me. As you can tell, she has a much better camera and much more skill than me!! Thanks Jenni!
