God Bless America

 Getting ready for the parade.

Jack decorated the yard with the flags he got from the parade.   

 Watermelon time!

 

Fire works time! Jack was so proud of himself! 

 I'm not sure who was more excited about fireworks... Jack or Daddy

 Baby girl Suchecki and momma

 Back to decorating with his flags.
