Happy 4th of July!!

We spent the 4th of July in California with my Aunt's and their families. It was really fun!We spent the day swimming in their pool and then we had a BBQ and roasted Marshmallows in Erin's fire pit that she has by her pool and made some mores as Erin calls them. Then we went and watched fireworks that they shoot off over the lake that they live on. I also got to visit with my grandpa that is going down hill with his health very quickly. I was glad that I was able to spend sometime with him. But I had a really hard time when we said goodbye because I knew this was the last time I would see him. So it was a really good trip, we really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Erin and Tom for putting up with us for the last 10 days, we love you!
Addison roasting Marshmallows, she didn't get very close as you can see.
My girls putting their mellows really close to the fire, not.
