4th of July

We spent the holiday out at the property that Athena and Falsh have with lots of great friends. The kids played in the creek and the dirt, and enjoyed running around the forest for a few hours. Falsh had dug out a little inlet at the creek and the kids were daring each other to jump in (its only about 4 feet deep). Each of the kids were taking their turn, laughing at whatever poor sap was in the cold water at the time. A friends little boy wanted to try it, and though he can swim, the cold water shocked his body and his muscles went stiff. Antonio immediately jumped in (clothes and all) to get him out knowing he wouldn't be able to swim to the edge. Being the awesome person that he is, Antonio hadn't even though about his phone that was in his pants pocket when he went in the little pond. Thankfully, kiddo was fine, and the phone even survived being submerged!

 

Get a group of people together that includes 4 men who like things that blow up, and you're going to have one great fireworks show! It took quite a while to get through all of them, but at least there were no injuries (I'm always super paranoid at the 4th).
