Independence Day!

We had a quiet Independence Day at the Richardson House. We slept in, Blake smoked a brisket, we relaxed and swam. Stephanie and the boys came over to eat and swim with us, and Aunt Carol came over for a visit, as well. The kids enjoyed playing basketball and volleyball in the pool with the new set that Blake purchased today. It contains a basketball goal and a net for volleyball and paddle ball. They enjoyed playing all three games, swimming, and jumping on the trampoline. Even Sophie took a little swim today, although I don't think she enjoyed it quite as much as the others.
