Independence?

Independence day...the 4th of July
Same old holidays celebrated a new way...
This year, we were planning to leave on vacation early the next morning and
Our April has to work tomorrow early...like 3am early,( she's doing the traffic for all you folks) so, we wanted to do somthing simple and somthing early,
so she could rest and we could pack...
Dad and Nate came up with a pancake breakfast....
Well, then the power went out, and it became more lunch than brunch- blunch.
This family is nothing if not flexible!
We moved the blunch to Nate's and Dad made pancakes...
while April and Grandma did the decorating! RED, WHITE & BLUE pancakes!

A quick dip in the pool and then back to our chores....
I love my kids....Nathan, April, Sarah, Jordan, Connor, Kaeden...
and boy! can those lil guys swim...they inherited their Daddy's love of the water.

As usual, i got home and found my pictures didn't grasp the day completely...
no pics of April, Nate or I :)
