4th of July Photo Extravaganza!

FE, Mark and Grandpa eating their dinner.

Boy, do they both have to give me the SAME look???

I really don't think I want to know what he is talking her in to!

The Princess decided to keep everyone cool

But then gets cooled off herself!

It's a Grand Old Flag!

So pretty...

Here comes the flyover:

Directly above us:

Cute girl!
A snowcone from Grandpa!

Big enough Cheeto for ya?

The fireworks: We got so many great fireworks shots I had a hard time deciding what to share, but I love this one because it reminds me of a dandelion...

We had a really fun night, even with a little wind. The kids ran races with a group of about 50 other kids, Grandpa treated us all to snow cones and ice cream, we danced and sang along with the (exceptional) band, we saw friends from school. The wind delayed the fireworks by 10 minutes, but that was okay because we were still hanging out having fun! We all layed back on our blankets and listened to the music and watched the gorgeous fireworks. My heart swelled as my baby girl lay her head on my chest and oohed and aahed over the beautiful colors in the sky. The only thing missing was Bubba, but he was safely tucked away in a cabin up north with a friend's family. My guess is we'll get him back for fireworks once he has kiddos of his own!lol!
