The 4th of July this year took place mostly at Kings Point Pool. We made a whole day of it! Starting with the KPP 4th of July parade.
We circled the neighborhood. The kids decorated their bicycles and rode them in the parade. Neighbors sat out on their lawns and waved at the kids as they went by!
Next would be the Volleyball Tournament. A solid four hours of volleyball games. Five teams of four players each. The Syers family joined us on our team and we took the tournament! I think that the teams may have been a bit unfair...
We posed for the champion photo! (I remember this pose from high school.)
For the past two years, we've spent the 4th of July with the Syers' so we continued the tradition! After a full day of swimming and volleyball, we took our championship winnings and went out to eat at Mellow Mushroom!
We knew that we wanted to see some fireworks but wanted to avoid the crowd. We joined the Syers' at a show in their old neighborhood. We picked up ice cream cones on the way and then enjoyed the show from a safe distance! We were able to pull right out when the show was over!
Another memorable 4th of July!
This day has been my favorite of the summer. So much fun for everyone. Champions! Hope they let us try and defend our title next year!
