July 4th!

We had beautiful weather for the 4th of July festivities.  We started out our day at the Brookfield parade with friends.  This year we brought ear plugs and the boys enjoyed the parade a lot more.  There is something about the loud drums and sirens that they just don't seem to care for.

Of course our Joshie bear wasn't phased by the noise at all.  He was all about being front and center so he could get the candy that was tossed into the crowd!

Trying to round up the dads for a picture was near impossible!

 After the parade we spent a couple of hours at home swimming and enjoying the sunshine.

 After naps it was off to Pewaukee beach for the fireworks.  The kids enjoyed playing in the water and sand as we awaited dusk.  We had such a fun time with our friends.  Memories that will last a lifetime!
