The 4th of July

I think I've come to the conclusion that the 4th of July is my ultimate favorite holiday. 

I started out my day by working, then  I tried to create this 4th of July mix of berries.  :)

The whole family gathered at Katie and Ryan's home for a picnic.  Mark was designated the official chef.  He gave me this pose as I was snapping the picture.

Our new little star!  Tabitha was so cute!

Martha and I were picking Tabitha up and she loved it.  She stopped walking...

It was tickle time with Aunt Martha.  :)

We went fishing in the pond after eating...Ryan does not look very excited!

We put the boat out and Sarah and Daniel were brave enough to get in water tubes.

Tabitha was sad because Tamara was in the boat

 Armed, but not dangerous.  :)

What's the 4th of July without a couple sparklers??



A group picture.  Man, we can make some HORRIBLE faces!  :)

My lovely sister Lydia.  I love this picture...

That was my 4th of July in a nutshell of pictures.  After a day like that, I decided that the 4th of July is my favorite holiday...
