4th of July

We had a crazy and fun 4th of July weekend. Bridger and mom hit the pool Saturday while Ryan helped some of our friends jack-hammer their front porch and steps for the day. Sunday after church we all went to the pool again and then Bridger had a sleep-over at his friend's house while Ryan and I went to the evening Phillies game with some friends. Monday morning we got up early and headed to the zoo. This was Ryan's idea and, admittedly, I was skeptical that it would be packed, but it was completely empty and we had beautiful morning weather. That evening we met several friends for a picnic in the park and the kids played until dusk. We skipped both the parade and the fireworks, but it was a great 4th. Here's a picture of Ryan and Bridger at the zoo watching the polar bear and also the slough of kids at the park:
