Check out the snazzy hair-do (braided pig-tails left in overnight)!
Max made it his mission to pull up and replant the flags.
Swimming!
Chris and Max giving Michael and Henry tips on jumping into the pool.
Poolside tea party (with Stella serving tea on Scarlett's head).
Max, not deterred by the giant hat covering his entire face, digs around in the candy bowl for treats.
Next challenge: finding his mouth (note that he has one lollipop in use and another one ready as backup; you can never be too prepared).
Max loved this ride in the Kovac's backyard.
Henry and Scarlett rocking their crazy headbands. (And Henry rocking sans pants.)
Trying to get a group photo with a 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 year old where everyone looks at the camera at the same time with a pleasant look on their face is a challenge to say the least. Here's what I ended up with instead.
Take 1 -- The Dramatic Patriot: Everyone is looking the right way except Scarlett, who is too busy theatrically waving her flag.
Take 2 -- The Scream: Scarlett is almost completely obscured by her flag in this one, and hardly anyone is looking at the camera for that matter, but I love Henry's expression (made all the more poignant by his outfit (or lack thereof)).
Take 3 -- The Keeper: This is probably the best one I got, although Max has moved on to something more interesting (like pulling up flags along the sidewalk) and has been replaced by Mark, and Chris's face is mostly covered up by the giant hat thanks to Michael's bunny ears.
Take 4 -- The British Are Coming!: All hell starts to break lose, at least as far as Scarlett is concerned. We announced it was time to leave, and you would have thought that Scarlett just determined that the Declaration of Independence had a typo in it and we were going back under British rule based on a technicality. (Translation: MAJOR MELTDOWN.)

Hope your Fourth of July was so much fun that you didn't want it to end either!
