4th of July Celebrations

We spent the 4th at the Vrabec's, where they hosted quite the shindig. There was a ton of yummy food, a keg, a pool set up for the kiddos, and lots of friends. The Vrabec's are actually in hosting mode, as Becca and John (and their cutie son who just turned 1, Wes) are visiting from Germany. Also in for the weekend was their friend Jason and his lady friend, Angela. Add to the mix Andrew's parents, Susan & Peter, and there's a party before the rest of the guests even arrived! Storms threatened to put a damper on the day (how do you like that corny pun?), but around the time the party started, it was cloudy, but no rain. The kids ran around non stop, swimming in the pool and then watching fireworks.
Brian made this dip and it was a big hit. Everyone thought I had made it, but I knew Brian would be much more precise and accurate with the dimensions and lines than I would.
Staci & Dan's boys, Brandon, Cameron and Dylan:
