I had a great Fourth. I honestly haven’t done something fun on the fourth in years. This was a nice and low key one, but a lot of fun!! I was invited to Modesto to spend the 4th with William and his family. Then we went to a block party in front of their house. It was really nice. Everyone came out, shared food (I helped make the pie crust with his mom), swam in each others backyard pools, set off group fireworks. The street was blocked off, so everyone could roam freely. William’s niece, Sophie, esp. had a good time roaming and walking the street (she’s not yet 2). Anyway, I took a lot of pics and wanted to share some fun ones.

Here’s the street. It looked so cute and multiple grills were fired up!

I had several glasses of this homeade lemonade. YUM!

Of course I had to have one of these! In addition to other sweets. It’s a holiday!

Sophie had fun splashing her feet in the pool.

And sitting on the curb meeting new people.

And of course there were fireworks!

I liked this moody photo of a boy in the firework smoke!

William’s sis Heather did her fire poi! I got to take a lot of cool pics of her with the fire!!

Here’s another one I really liked.

Oh, and here’s a cute photo of me and William that his sis took. I think it’s pretty cute. He’s wearing the shirt I made him!!!

What did you do for the fourth?

Until next time Swellions!
