Independence Day 2012

This year, we celebrated Independence Day by keeping it low key. We hung out at the house and enjoyed the fun that our new neighborhood offered. The afternoon brought rain showers, so the kids ran out some of their bottled energy in the backyard in the rain. Even Chief joined in on the fun. Dusty fired up his new grill (a surprise from the kiddos and I) and made us hamburgers and grilled chicken. When darkness set in, we headed over to a neighborhood friends house to enjoy setting off a few sparklers and watching fireworks.
