The 4th... actually the 5th

To celebrate the 4th we actually went to Market Square to the farmers market, where to Lydia's delight, a stage was set up. So our little actress had a great time dancing and singing and poking her head out.

Eli enjoyed the show too!

After the Farmers market we went to our great friends the Merland and enjoyed some dinner and good company.

Sadly the only picture I took

For our big celebration, on the 5th, Aunt Christy had us all over and many others for a BBQ. It was great! Great food, Great company, great relaxation! The only down side was the flies picked that day to wage a war against all people outside. I didn't let it get me down though.

Fun times! Playing in the ice with Bryson (second cousin)

Pool time, though it was freezing, that wouldn't stop them from playing

Eli was the smart one and didn't want to get in the water.
