4th of July

To celebrate the 4th of July, yesterday, we continued our tradition of eating Chinese food and went out to lunch at Pei Wei with Jake and Ashley, because nothing is more American than foreign cuisine.

Then we went back to the house and went swimming and had a barbeque with everyone. Corbin LOVED swimming, it was like one giant bathtub for him to splash around in. By the end he was flailing his feet about and it actually looked like he was swimming since it was hard enough kicking to propel his little floaty around, it was pretty cute.

Then we continued the Miller family's holiday tradition... and built explosive tanks. We took the tank fireworks and strapped on some flashers, smoke bombs, cracklers, etc. so that later we could take them outside, face them toward one another and have them "battle" against each other. They aren't the best quality pictures, but here is a little reenactment of the festivities.
