For the first time in our entire lives, we spent the entire 4th of July with our friends and neighbors as opposed to family. (This is because half the holiday was celebrated on the previous Saturday, which we spent with family.) Anyway . . . we had a wonderful day with all the neighbors whom we've come to love over the last six years. It was bittersweet knowing that we'd be moving in a couple weeks, but we had a wonderful day nonetheless. (sadly, most of it was not catpured on film!)
We began the day watching the parade in the front yard of the business our neighbor owns. He had invited the whole neighborhood to come and we had a BBQ afterward. Later that day, another neighbor had opened her pool to the neighbors for another grill. And, of course, we took advantage!
Later that night, we attended the Cul de Sac of fire which was slightly dampened by a brief, but intent, rainstorm. It was a great night of fireworks and treats and lots of good neighbors. We miss them dearly!
