We normally travel on the 4th, but this year decided to stay home, which was really nice.....we had so much fun with friends and just being together as a family. It started out with a bang (well, and a few tears) on Friday night. We headed out to "the country" for a cookout at the Mcdaniels home. We always have so much fun there, I mean with a pool, a trampoline, a huge swing set, a tractor, a barn, and cows....what more could you ask for? Heather cooked up the most delicious meal. Below are a few pictures of our night, the fireworks and the fun!
heather, amy, and myself
henry and parker, so cute!
rich, sallie, amy, alex (scared to death) and john
as you can see the sallie and alex would much rather be eating fruit snacks than watching fireworks
munching on dinner after a dip in the pool....sallie thought she was so big eating with all of the kiddos
an you believe this amazing flag cake.....amy made it and i am still in awe! it was so yummy too!
myself, sallie tiffany, and kennedyThe weekend of the 4th also allowed us to spend time with our great friends, the Dykes.....here are the girls swimming at the pool. I think we were there all of 5 minutes and it was already time for a snack. Kennedy and Sallie play so well together. Kennedy is such a sweetie so hopefully she is rubbing off on Sallie.....not that Sallie isn't sweet but we really look up to Kennedy!
On Sunday we woke up, played a little and then headed to church. We planned on going to see fireworks with the Dykes family but after a hard days work in the yard building a fence, we opted for pj's and a drive around town eating smores! Here is a picture of Sallie and her daddy before Church......Sallie is wearing the cutest dress that Mimi picked out for her, thanks Mimi!
