Happy 4th of July! 7/4/2012

What a great day!
We started the day off with a trip to Starbuck's
and went out for cheeseburgers for lunch.
Here is our
 "patriotic cutie"
waiting for us to get ready.
While Frank ran a few errands and Rachel napped...
I got things ready for our little picnic. 
Some yummy food...
hot dogs & corn on the grill,
 baked beans, Sun Chips,
watermelon & Strawberry Pretzel dessert...
After dinner...
time for some fun!
Daddy got the water pistol...
and he wasn't afraid to use it!
(especially on the Mommy despite the fact
that I was sporting the expensive camera!)
Mommy surprised them
with water balloons!
Daddy showing Rachel how to
 pump up the water pistol...
...so she could soak the Mommy!
Yikes!
Hmmm...
This called for some water balloon tossing
by the Mommy!
They were durable little buggers
and kept bouncing all over the place:).
Rachel collected all the yellow ones
and placed them safely on a chair.
She did not want to throw them:)...
Ganging up on the Mommy!
No fair!
I was seriously soaked!
Then she turned on the Daddy!
Ummmm...
there may or may not have been
some encouragement from the Mommy...
just sayin'.
HaHa!
Get him!
That's my girl!
Time for...
BUBBLES!
We do love bubbles at our house!
This was a fun battery-operated blower...
Very cool!
"Look at ALL the bubbles, Mommy!"
Too funny...
they kept blowing back into her face...
Sweet...
Lots & lots of bubbles...
Huge ones too!
It was a fun day!
We hope everyone had a safe, fun holiday!
Happy Birthday, America!
