Happy Independence Day

We hope you all had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend, because we for sure did!! Two nights of fireworks back to back! I seriously LOVE fireworks! This is probably because when I was little I considered the fireworks part of a celebration toward my birthday, which is at the end of the month on the 27th, and was glad everyone was there having a good time enjoying the show too. Nate teased me while we watched them because he said I had a big smile on my face! We had fun enjoying some picnic time on our blanket and games that boys love: wrestling, freeze tag, and a bit of soccer while we waited for the show to start.
Every year we have a parade that is right by our house. We can walk out of our house 5 minutes before the start time and get great seats. Justin was funny to watch because once he picked up that first treat thrown to him, all his focus turned to that piece of candy and nothing else, not even more candy that was throw at his feet could change his focus! We came back home with an entire bowl full of candy!
We also were able to spend a whole afternoon with a lot of great friends, swimming, enjoying a delicious barbecue, and soaking up the sunny sunshine!!! Thanks again everyone for such a wonderful, fun filled day!!
