were thinking of camping, but the kids wanted to stay home and attend our neighborhood July 4th celebration. We started off by gathering by the pool for the neighborhood parade. A firetruck led the way with all the kids on their decorated bikes following right behind.Sarai was so excited to decorate her bike and be in a parade. Sarai and Shem had a great time. Angela even rode along on a low rider (Shem's old bike). Seth was more into the pool party later in the day.
After the parade we got everything together at home and showed up to the pool precisely at 10 am to secure the corner gazebo. We definitely wanted the shade since we were planning to hang out all day. We brought the hibachi, a bunch of food and drinks, plenty of sunblock and all the essentials. The HOA provided cake and popsicles and all sorts of pool games (including a root beer chugging swim race - see me, Shem & Seth below).
We invited Shem's friend Sterling and his family to join us at the coveted corner gazebo. They did. As the
day went along and more friends from the neighborhood showed up we ended up with quite the crowd at our corner of the pool. It was great. We brought hot dogs for the kids but Daniel, Sterling's dad, brought filet mignon and huge juicy burgers to grill. 
Now that is the guy to bring to a BBQ! :)

It looks like lots of fun. I bet you're glad not to be in AZ heat.
Joe - Thanks for inviting me to view your blog. It looks like you and your family are doing well and enjoying life in Denver. Still miss you here at MM, though.
