this year for the 4th, we did things a little different. in the past we have gone to boulder city in the morning to watch the parade, but tommy was out of town. he spent the weekend in monterrey on a golf trip with his grandparents and the kennedy's. so nicole and the kids and i went over to my parents' house for swimming and a barbecue during the day. 
grandpa mert and johnny
kate playing around. she is the crazy one who will just jump in the pool. johnny is very cautious.
kate after she enjoyed an ice cream sandwich
spent after 3 hours in the pool. they were out within 3 minutes on the way home.
after we went home and napped, we got ready and went up to boulder city in the evening for the fireworks show. it was one of the best i have been to. i think this will be a new tradition!
kate and johnny both started screaming and crying when the fireworks started. finally i set kate in the stroller and the only way she wouldn't cry was if she was facing backwards. this is her frowny face that she made the whole time. it was so funny watching her because she had her back to the fireworks the whole time. every once in a while she would peek over her shoulder to see. but only for a second.
patrick, and nicole ready to pop
hmmm, what's going on?
we finally got kate out of the stroller and she was ok laying on the blanket. she must have felt like the fireworks couldn't get her if she stayed low.....
although his expression looks petrified, he was actually smiling. he was being so brave... as long as he clung to patrick's leg for dear life. by the end he said "fireworks can't get me! i yike them!"

I love it. So cute. We were going to go to Boulder City and then changed our minds, so we will have to go out next year. All your pictures from San Diego are great. You look beautiful... as always. You guys are always having a great time.
Looks like you guys had a fun 4th and a lot of fun in San Diego.
I love Summer!
How fun! What a fun 4th! I wish I could have gone swimming! Instead I was sick all weekend in Parowan. I did have fun and loved being with my family though! Fun pics. Is Austin still engaged?
What a fun post!! How DARLING your little babies are!! How great to see your dad too!
I LOVE Kate's 4th of July skirt. So cute, it looks like they put on a good show in Boulder City, we should try it next year! Nicole looks so cute pregnant too!
