4th of July

4th of July was a spectacular day.

It started with a family boat trip out to Lake Mead. The kids were more then excited as we launched the boat and headed to a spot where we could do cannonballs off the boat, make sand castles and throw rocks. We found a great cove for all our activities and even had a picnic on the boat.

Later that evening family came over and we attempted to devoure a 30 inch pizza. Can I even begin to tell you how huge that was??? It was like the Paxinos circus as usual with all of our family chaos. The horrible headache that was behind my eye was killing me though, I could not even read the pizza menu out of that eye. But the evening must go on.

We ended the evening with the fireworks display in Boulder City. They started out pretty bleak, but the grand finale made up for the slow start. In true Paxinos style, we were waiting in an enormous traffic line to get out of Boulder city, and the low fuel light pops on. The kids both worried and went through every possible scenario of what we would do "if." But we did make it to the gas station in a timely fashion, filled up and had two kids asleep before he hit the freeway.
