4th of July BBQ!

We had such a fun family party on the 3rd of July! We were all together to celebrate the 4th, and we started off the morning by going to see Toy Story 3! What a fantastic movie! Definitely one that we want to see again! I loved Scooter's "commentary" during the movie - "Mom look, it's Woody and Buzz!" ..."Oh no, that's not good!" and other cute little things! And luckily the people we were sitting by were patient and didn't tell us to "shoosh" or anything...Of course, I guess when you sit by family they don't have much choice but to be patient with you! haha!

Then we went to Nanny & Papa's house (Scooter has been calling my dad "Pops" lately, which I think is so cute!) and had a BBQ and a swimming party!

Erica and Aubrey were so nice to work as lifeguards at the pool! (Derek & Mauri called them that! They were good sports too, considering that they didn't walk away from the pool dry...) Here is Erica catching Derek as he goes down the slide!
Having fun!
Mauri sliding through Erica's legs!
Splash!


Drying off for a few minutes on his new Buzz Lightyear towel from Nanny & Papa.
Taking a small break to sit at the kids picnic table & drink his kid sized Shasta!
What a fun, fun day! The times we get to spend with family are some of my absolute favorite! And we were oh so happy that this bbq did not end like our one last year... No injuries or trips to the hospital! Phew! Made it even better!!
