Fourth of July with MorMor & MorFar and The Waters


We spent our Fourth of July yesterday with K & O's most adored two people on earth: MorMor & MorFar, and with K & O's most adored family on earth: The Waters. If you read this blog you know about my parents (MorMor & MorFar) and you know about our friends The Waters. The big downer was the rainy-yucky weather. Not exactly the 4th of July pool-bbq that we all had imagined. Highlights, however, included: crazy-crazy-Waters-Johnson-McCormick MARCHING BAND, big bowls of summer fruit, MorMor's-awesome-ice-cream-cake-dessert, and a fireworks display put on in our own back yard by none-other-than-MORFAR! He'd light one off; the kids would all go nuts watching it from our deck (with the exception of Owen, of course, who was deathly afraid and in the house getting loved on by Corey); and then the entire 'audience' would loudly chant/scream "MorFar! MorFar! MorFar!" (although when we listened closely we noticed that some of the younger kids were actually chanting "More Fire! More Fire! More Fire!"); then MorFar would light another one off. The level of excitement for this fireworks display seriously rivaled any major city's fireworks shows yesterday, I'm sure of it. Anyway, we had a blast (no pun intended!). Hope your 4th was fun too.

We had a totally awesome time, you guys. We always love spending time with you, and to get time with MorMor and MorFar too was an extra bonus! Can't wait for August!
