Back Track to Fourth of July


 Forgot to mention the 4th of July, baby!   This year marked our very first Fourth of July . . . with kids! It was the very first firework display for all 3 kiddos! We spent the day swimming, playing, laughing & dancing (well, the girls did anyway) with our good buds, the Catanias, followed by dinner & wonderful fireworks in Cornwall.  Ella & her best bud, Catharine, were inseparable while the brothers & Mikey hung back and pretended to be wounded every time the fireworks exploded with an array of colorful ka-booms! Our day was so memorable and exciting.  We thought for sure that at least one of the kids, namely Gavin, would be a little afraid of the loud thunderous sounds, but alas! Were we fortunately incorrect! Gavin, as well as E & G LOVED LOVED LOVED the fireworks!  The kids, including Gav, talked about it for days after! Gavin still says kaBOOOOM with a giant smile on his face every time we mention fireworks.  Another blessing of summertime!
