Tay did his share of blowing up floaters for the kids.
Lily sat on a towel because she freaked out when she got sand on her legs and was dirty.
The next day, we had a fun pool party at Uncle Llamar's condo. It was fun for cousins to be together and enjoy pizza and delicious desserts from Llamar and Barbara. It got a bit windy and cloudy but the water was warm.

The day before the 4th we went to the Freedom festival and got free snow cones and saw the fun booths with crafts and foods. The kids were mesmerized by a hypnotist.


We then went bowling at Fat Cats which the kids liked okay but Lily just wanted to wander around near the video games.

We started off the 4th with the big breakfast in Syracuse with my side of the family. Always delicious and plentiful. I was busy eating and not taking photos, oops. Then we met up with Taylor's family at Lagoon which surprisingly wasn't too crowded. Andrea made the girls such cute patriotic dresses to match!
