Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th everyone!! Today our pool party got cancelled because it was supposed to rain so we stayed home all day! First, Ollie, Aunt Erin, Kevin & I went for a walk down to the park. Ollie ran almost the whole way! Then he had a great time hanging!
Later, during Ollie's nap Chris discovered that our sewer was backing up into our basement - gross! So he spent the day fixing and cleaning that up! Thank goodness he knows what to do and thank goodness he cleaned it up because that is definitely not something I wanted to do!
When Ollie woke up and while Chris was still working on our plumbing problem Ollie and I went in the backyard and set off some smoke bombs! Ollie thought that was pretty fun!

Finally, Chris was done cleaning up poop and decided it was time to wash the cars! Ollie wanted to help too!

But, just cleaning the cars was not enough for Ollie; he thought the trash can was pretty dirty too!

Later in the evening we went out back and set off a few fireworks that Grandma Cherry bought for Ollie. He liked the tanks the best - he is pretty scared of the little fountains and sparklers and the loud whistlers but he really likes the big ones in the sky that go "BOOM"! Maybe next year he will like the sparklers and other little ones too. It turned out to be a pretty fun day - after the poop fiasco that is!
