4th of July

Making ice cream with Maw Maw

Playing in the pool with the hose--Reese's favorite.

Watching fireworks with the family--Charlie (my nephew is in front of me) he was very comfortable as you can see:)

We had a great 4th of July and I hope all of you did too!
We really just took it easy--went over to Greg's parents house swam, cooked out, made some homemade ice cream then headed up to our church for fireworks! It was a pretty pleasant night out and the kids were able to run around and play so they were happy about that.
I must say the 4th is always a bit of a disappointment to me since we were able to experience the 4th while living in DC. Nothing compares to watching fireworks on the National Mall with a nice backdrop of the Washington Monument! Now that we have been in Texas for 2 years I am finally coming to the realization that nothing will compare and I just need to get over it! Ok, ok I'm over it but I don't have to like it:)
Happy Birthday America!
