What was going to end up being one of the lamest 4th of Julys ever actually ended up being really fun! The day before, Monique, Marcella and I were letting the kids play in the pool and decided we should have a little picnic for the Fourth. So we had a little cook-out (or for all you West Coasters, a BBQ) in front of our apartment with a few of our neighbors -- the Littles, the Baddas and the Del Pegos. We had great food and tons of it. Our kids played all afternoon and had the best time. Marcella and Monique had the pool set up and of course Max was in and out the whole time. He LOVES being around other kids, watching them and following them around. He basically stole Joaquin and Marcel's food the whole time.
Speaking of food, Max had a staggering amount of it. He ate chips and pasta salad and salsa and meat and he even had his first chocolate chip cookie.He also carried around a stalk of grilled asparagus for a while, sucking on the ends. When food fell on the ground, he ate it. He stole peas and corn from Marcel and ate a lot of watermelon.
We had a great day and stayed out until 10pm after putting the babies to bed, hoping to get a glimpse of some fireworks (which we didn't), drinking hot chocolate and just acting like adults again. It was a great way to celebrate!

Hi Nina and Tyler,
It sounds like you had a great 4th of July! That's what it is all about.
Just having fun with family and friends. I have been working in the yard since there will be a wedding reception here on the 14th. Nothing like a wedding reception to get the yard in shape. It really does look great. Take care, Love you, Grandma Seibert
You have such cute pictures from the 4th! We had a great time, we should have a BBQ again soon. Monique
