The Fourth!

We decided to spend the 4th in Columbia with my family this year.  We grilled out, drank margaritas by the pool, splashed around in the water and played a little baseball in the front yard.  It was some good old fashioned 4th of July fun!  So much fun, in fact, that Austin took a 4 hour nap on Monday after not even waking up until 9am!

Oh, and don't you just love Austin and Owen's patriotic outfits?  Target never seems to disappoint!  I honestly can't get enough of that place and thanks to Babbling Abby's post about Target Tactics, I now know the perfect way to keep Austin entertained while I shop around.  A quick stop at the snack bar for an Icee and a cookie and I'm guaranteed at least an hour of stress free shopping!

But anyway, here are the pictures from our 4th of July celebration!

This is my future brother-in-law, folks!

Nothing like a good game of baseball on the 4th of July!
