Our holiday weekend was pretty quiet with Doc and Dodger going to the dog park and working in the yard a lot and me doing, well, not much. It ended with a 4th of July which felt kind of like an old fashioned day to me. I went with my daughter Jill and her family to their swim club, a club which has been around for over 50 years.
The pool had the feel of the kind of pools I went to when I was a kid. It even still has a diving board which Jared and Justin made good use of.
The boys played some water football with their dad, who showed great skill in catching the ball mid-air as he jumped off the diving board. He showed even more skill with some fancy dives.
There were pool games and "biggest splash" contests for the kids and lots of old-fashioned fun.
Later in the evening I went with my other daughter, Joanna, and her family to watch their town's fireworks.
Beck watched the fireworks wide-eyed, saying an occasional "oooh!"
EJ was all smiles and kept saying "I love celebrating the 4th of July."
I agree.....it was fun celebrating the 4th of July.
It's always fun to be with the family. I bet they loved the fireworks.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really fun day! Glad you were able to see so much of the family!

ReplyDeletebetty
I've never been brave enough to jump from a diving board... but it sure does look like great fun :) Glad you had a great time...
ReplyDeleteA good old fashioned fourth of July with family and swimming and fireworks. Hope it was a nice holiday for you. It was for us and we didn't do much. We did barbecue and ride bikes and took some pictures and played with the camera. We are both trying to learn more about the camera. We have had it about five years but have used it very little.
ReplyDeleteWe had a relatively quiet 4th, but there definitely was time spent at Ye Olde Swimming Hole. I just LOVE those old pools. Big and fun and a real family feeling, correctamundo?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day! It is great to watch fireworks and be with family.
ReplyDeletegosh, it looks like you did have a wonderful 4th; good for you! It brought back a lot of nice memories of my own!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing well...
Hi Jeanie,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like my kind of July 4th-- family, water and fireworks-- just like when I was a kid.
Your grandchildren are getting big- and cuter by the minute. Glad you could spend time with them.

Clearly a great day had by all. The look on Beck's face is absolutely priceless!
ReplyDeleteHi Jeannie -
ReplyDeleteLoved the photos! I'm quite impressed with dives!! And with your fireworks photos. Nuthin' better than a sky full of "glitter".

ReplyDeleteLooks like a great day for you and family....Great Fun
I just can't get use to the no panty hose...remember when it was like the poor really tacky girl that went bare legged???
Oh wow! You sure did have a fabulous day! You have the most beautiful, adorable grandchildren!!!
ReplyDeleteHi there, Loved seeing such a similar small town event. It is great living in this area and being able to see soo many firewords shows. Dodger is such a cutie-I've only known one Westie before-he looks adorable.
ReplyDeleteI've been by recently to read your posts, just haven't left comments-I'm so bad and so sorry.
Have a delightful weekend.
Hugs, Noreen
Jeanie,
ReplyDeleteThose photos captured the day. I was without kids and as you know, made a video.
I love the photos of your grandkids.
Wonderful family fun. I'm glad you had such a nice time.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful day! Ours was spent with Bryson at his house with just a few fireworks.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time! Your fireworks photos were much better than mine!
