It's Independence Day

We had a fabulous 4th! It began with a 7am flag ceremony (our kids loved it and learned a lot) which I have no pics of, but wish I did...a camera wasn't really on my mind at 7am. Then we went to see Ice Age (pretty funny) and after that we went to a bbq/swim party with the Standifirds where I ate way to much spinach/artichoke dip (thanks Kati) and Brady got way too sunburned! After that we headed home for some much needed naps. We met up with the Becks at Macayo's in Tempe (moment of silence for the last time we'll all be there together for 2 years) and ended the night with a great (45 min long) firework show by City of Tempe. Just when we thought we were done we got to sit in the car for another hour (trying to get out of the parking lot) and listening to the girls get their second wind that carried them until 11:30pm when we finally got home!

It was a happy 4th and we were grateful to spend it with everyone we love!

Sounds like you had a great time! And I will have a moment of silence for Macayo's any day. I seriously crave it like nothing else since we moved here. The closest one is in Vegas - and that's 5 hours from here! Not acceptable. :)
