Independence Day

Alexa & Izzy
We celebrated the 4th of July on the 3rd with a BBQ at Danny & Shantel's house in Anthem. Alexa & I got there early and had lunch with Shantel & Izzy. Then Britany, Jeremy, Maya & Kenyon met us there as well as Greg & Danny after a little game of Golf.

The boys stayed at the house with the kids while us gals did a little shopping at the Anthem outlets. We then went to the community swimming pool and had some fun in the water. Alexa LOVES swimming!!! We were all exhausted after playing in the 116 degree weather and we were ready for some dinner.

The mom's & dad's with the kids
Danny grilled us up some hot dogs and burgers and Miss Shantel, the master hostess, had a huge spread of side dishes. It was all great. Our family then became the party poopers and headed home around 8:30 pm. We had over an hour drive and I knew that there would be a melt down if we stayed much later. (I would have had the melt down.. bed time for me is at 9pm :).) The others stayed and watched fireworks and had a great time.
