Fourth of July

For the fourth of July we spent the day at home. The kids ran through the sprinklers, we had a BBQ with our friends, Rob and Sharon, and we watched the fireworks at Peoria Sports Complex from the roof of our Patio.

I had mowed the lawn earlier in the day. Unfortunately this is not the best condition for sprinkler running. The kids were covered in grass clippings and we had to hose them all off on the patio before they could come inside.

Ben sat on the patio with a cup of ice water and a squirt bottle. The kids would try to sneak up on him, they weren't very successful.

Our dog, Chancho, has a personal feud with the sprinklers. It doesn't matter when they turn on or how many of them are going, he seems to feel it is his personal calling in life to try and rid the world of all sprinklers. He usually ends up shivering on the patio, but this doesn't stop him from going after them the next time they come on.
