We got a few invites for the 4th ourselves, so we decided it would be fun to have all those who invited us to come to our place, and ended up having quite a bash. I ended up making two salads and two blueberry pies in the morning, but need not to have been so domestic as many more deserts were brought. The day was quite warm but not repulsively so, and the baby pool was huge with the under-five crowd. All of our best friends were there, and they got to meet and hang out, which was cool for us. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but everyone got along swimmingly. Grandma Julia was absolutely floored by how attentive and helpful all the dads were with the kids. We do hang out with amazing guys (the ladies are no slouches themselves). Though she seemed to think that Tiger is a great dad because of seeing guys like Andre and Mike parent, which is partially cause and effect, but the truth of the matter that they are great dads and husbands having a lot to do with trying to follow the example of Jesus, and having had the examples of dads who had the same goal as well.
Tiger bought a bunch of fireworks (he says he didn’t want to disappoint Emily) and set them off in the back yard. Some of them were actually quite impressive. It gave the men a great opportunity to be boys :-) A great time was had by all, though I don’t know that Lily was keen on the loud bangs.
