Celebrating the 4th with Bob and the Daggers (Bob Floyd x Reader)
Warnings: Parenthood, holiday shenanigans, some World Cup shenanigans etc.
You and Bob do a MASSIVE picnic every year on the 4th, but this year's was extra special
For one thing, you guys had made a ton of friends who were visiting the US for the World Cup and decided that the best way to have fun was to extend the invitation
Jake, being from Texas, is the master at the art of barbecue. Briskets, burgers, ribs, prime rib, he's done it all and has the best rubs and sauces for it. He also had a long distance friend visiting from South Korea and the two of them developed what is quite possibly the most evil level of spicy barbecue sauce in existence (lol)
Coyote had some extended family members travel up to the states from Brazil. His uncle not only helped Jake work the BBQ pits, but he also taught some of the older kids the best moves for the soccer fields
Natasha and her grandpa Earl made a huge flag banner that had all the names of both former and active duty family members and friends. There was even a table at the other end of the pavillion where everyone was allowed to bring a photo of family or friends who served and it was dubbed "the memorial table"
You and Bob did SO MUCH COOKING in the days leading up to it. His Meemaw and his mom had helped you guys out with all the side dishes and the dessert table had every kind of cookie, candy, cake and pie you guys could think up
Payback and Fanboy got the bright idea to have a bunch of people go up on the roof of The Hard Deck and do the YMCA dance. That was yours and Bob's first time doing it and you had never had so much fun
Tons and tons of water fights between the kids. It was so hot that everybody was either having squirt gun fights, water balloon fights or were taking a dive in the ocean to cool off
Soooooo many flyovers from the Navy base that day, all the kiddos were jumping up and down with excitement
Many of your friends who were visiting from Germany and Scotland made sure to bring extra beer. They never forgot when Penny ran out and had to make an emergency beer run (lol)
A few of your friends who were visiting from Japan had gifted Penny and Mav with a handmade flag to hang outside the door of the bar. Bob knew one of them from training exercise and made sure to give him and his wife a little something in return
Everybody was dancing to some of the best music in existence, country, 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s throwback tunes. By the end of the night, everybody knew the words to "Watermelon Crawl"
AMAZING FIREWORKS DISPLAYS!!!!! Not one person left there without being awed
