4th of July

We attempted a 4th of July parade, but it was MUCH too hot for little Charlie, who just didn't understand why it was fun to endure such heat when there is air conditioning or shade to sit in. So Peter headed back to Amy and Luke's house while I stayed to finish the parade out with Sam, who enjoyed the fire engines, clowns, marching bands, and candy. We then went to my parents' house for a little pool party fun. It was Charlie's first swimming experience. He seemed a little less than impressed. Sam loved the water, of course, and he also enjoyed his first 4th of July sparkler!
