The Fourth.

With the fourth landing on a Sunday this year, it felt like everything got spread out and we pretty much celebrated the fourth of July on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Saturday we went to the parade in the morning and swam the rest of the day. Sunday after church we went to the Donaldson's for dinner then came back so the boys could light their fireworks. I stayed home with Brielle and Breaker while Mike took Brooklyn with him to the Allred's (they didn't get back until after 11!) and it was SO nice that Mike had Monday off so we could party some more at the Dow's. I am really glad that Mike somehow narrowly escaped a $2500 fine for lighting his fireworks off on Monday too...I guess it pays to know a cop (yeah for Sully).


Breaker slept through the WHOLE parade...he is such a good little boy! He is smiling all the time now and cooing. I LOVE it. He just melts my heart!



The girls love Courtney. She knows the girls love the park and she makes sure she takes them there every time we come over. My girls are so spoiled with all the fun Aunts they have!

Could the weekend have ended any better for my kids? A cult de sac (is that how you spell that?) FULL of kids, toys, food, movies and fireworks??? I think not. Don't you just love holidays?

That looks like one fun weekend!!! I wish we could have been there with you guys! This was my first time being away on the Fourth (my favorite holiday) and I must admit that I got very homesick! We are coming home in a week and I can't wait to see you guys!!!!
