I only have a few minutes here to check in and share a little glimpse of our 4th of July celebration.
The kids had a fabulous time running around playing in the pool, with water balloons.....
and coming up with their own games:)
Reagan has been sick since last Saturday and the 4th was the first that she was starting to feel better. She had missed the first half of the party because she was sleeping, but when she woke up she could not wait to join in the fun.
Around 6pm, the men decided it was time to get the clambake started and that the best place to cook the big pots would be in our driveway. Even though it was hotter than blazes, there was a slight breeze that was hindering the flames, so they moved the cars to help block the wind. That definitely helped things move along!
They did a fabulous job cooking our meal to perfection!!! Everyone enjoyed every last bite......
even the little ones loved their first New England Style Clambake!!!
Special thanks to my Aunt Betty and Uncle Kevin who brought us the wonderful seafood all the way from New England!! It was definitely a 4th of July everyone will remember!!
I hope that you all had wonderful 4th as well!!
Betty, Kevin, and Eddie are still visiting and will be here with us through the weekend. Today we are getting ready to head out Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom!! It should be another day filled with fun and adventures!!
Happy Friday Everyone~

It's so lovely to have the weather to eat (and cook!) outdoors, too much rain here this summer :(

I hope Reagan is all better now. Buttered corn heals everything I think;)
