Happy Independence Day!

Having a toddler around means really every day is independence day ("No Mama's turn! Sadie's turn!) but yesterday was the official one the rest of the country celebrates.  We had a BBQ on our front lawn.  This was quite exciting as we hadn't hosted one sine we lived in our very first apartment together in 2008...

Here is Dad grilling with Mark and while the rest of us relax on the grass

Sadly after a short period of hanging out outside, it started to rain, so we had to move the party into our front lobby

The rain didn't last too long though, and pretty soon we were back outside, enjoying our food and playing with our scooter...

 

Note: Mom did attend the party, but sadly no one but her took pictures.
