Happy 4th of July!

We started the day with absolutely nothing planned. And in the end, the day turned out to be lots of fun! Alex decided it was time for us to buy a volleyball net (we have a sand volleyball court in the park behind our house), so we put up the net and played 2 vs 2 with my sister and her husband. Man are my arms sore!

We worked up an appetite playing volleyball, so we headed inside. Alex heated up the grill and put some burgers on, and Megan and I made dessert. You can read more about our flag cake here. Nicole was ready to dive right into the cake!


Somewhere in between we decided to make s'mores, because what's more American than s'mores?! We just used the hot coals from the grill, and it worked out nicely. Nikki was a big fan!


And in the end, we got to enjoy some fireworks from our backyard. Happy 4th of July!
