Happy 4th of July!

Ah, the 4th of July.  It's the mid-marker of summer, one of the best times around.  Perfect for picnics, parades, pool time, and parties.  We still celebrated all day!  Charlottesville has no parade, the vicious storms cut the pool time short, our grilling/picnic was rained out, and the fireworks weather left a lot to be desired (drizzly & humid).  However, we still had a blast (haha) making American-themed foods, got in a little pool time before the thunder, and spent the evening with Hunts lighting our own fireworks, laughing, and all around having a good time.  Happy 4th to you!
