Fourth of July

 Happy [belated] 4th of July!

I've said before that Halloween is my favorite holiday

but I'm retracting that statement and saying that there's a tie;

July 4th is without a doubt my other favorite.

It's the one holiday that requires no additional work other than going out and buying fireworks

[which is not necessarily required, but if you want to have fun they're kind of a must-have]

and eating all-American food.

Which we, of course, had a ton of. 

We broke-in the pool at my parent's new crib all afternoon long. 

 Max got more than his fair share of love.

 

 

 Not to mention, he got his sea legs in a super-manly pink blow up whale pool.

Adam: Why, dear God, WHY is it pink?!

Megh: Well...some whales are pink!

Adam: I'm not a whale expert, but I have never known whales to be pink.

 And we finished off the amazing day by blowing stuff up to celebrate America's birthday. 

I totally suck at night shots, whether it be indoor or outdoor

and I'm too stubbourn to shoot in auto mode or with a flash.

This makes getting good pictures tricky.

I managed to catch a few [a total of 4] that weren't disgusting,

the one above being my favorite.

I have a bit of a Sangria -slash- heat headache this morning, but it was all totally worth it. 

I'm not one to shout from the rooftops

I LOVE AMERICA!

But I can't imagine living in a better country.

[okay, France would be pretty awesome]

So happy birthday, America.

And thanks for my
