July 4th, 2009

We celebrated our great nation's independence at my Grandma Sipe's house at the Lake of Egypt in Marion, IL. Even though it stormed and rained (poured!) most of the day, everyone had a great time swimming, canoeing, grilling, eating, fireworking, and visiting with family. Good All-American fun!

Nella & Marley waiting for the rain to stop. It finally did . . . at 6:00 pm!

All-American Cutie

Helping herself to some lemonade.

Swimming in the rain.


The way a cheeseburger should be, with a gigantic slice of homegrown tomato thicker than the burger itself!

The works!

Waiting for the fireworks to start.

Literally blowing through hundreds of $$ in an hour. But oh, what fun!

'Ooooh, aaaahhhh'
Nella loved the fireworks!

Oh, and Nella got to play with her favorite car at Nana & Grandpa's house.

Looks like you had a great time in spite of all the yucky weather! That video of Nella driving the car cracks me up. She's too cute!
