4th of July

Friends, Holidays, Partying Comments Off on 4th of July

We had Tim, Ladonna, Chris, and Miles over on the 4th of July to chill and watch some soccer. Then out of nowhere the plan was to walk to the end of Atlantic Ave and see if we could get close to the fireworks. We joined a smallish crowd.

A few weeks ago Noah’s school invited the Fathers in for a little appreciation just before Father’s Day.
