This year for the 4th of July we stayed in Texas and my parents came down for the weekend. Grace was very excited to spend a couple of days with Papa & Grammy. My parents arrived on Friday during the rain storm but thankfully they were able to get here before the roads got real bad. On Saturday my cousin, Stephanie, & her husband, Brett, came down for lunch & to spend the afternoon with us. It was great to see them again & I know my parents really enjoyed being able to see Stephanie & to finally meet Brett.
Sunday we went over to our neighbors 4th of July party. There was swimming, jumping, a few fireworks, great food (tons of it), & of course wonderful people.
That night everyone that was at the party went down to the end of the block, 2 houses down, to watch the fireworks the town had. Every year our town has fireworks and it is always in the same park and in the same general location, which is great because we can go to the end of the street and watch them from our neighbors yard. We don't get to see the fireworks on the ground but we also don't have to wait in a long line to leave the park in order to get home. This was a huge advantage this year because for some reason the fireworks were an hour later than they were scheduled. They were suppose to go off around 9:20 and didn't start until 10:15 or so.
Waiting for the fireworks and trying to get a picture with my little girl. This was the best we got after several attempts.
Watching all the "big" kids light sparklers.
Finally the fireworks began and Gracie had the best seat....Daddy's shoulders.
But soon wanted Papa to hold her....
and then Momma!
She loved the fireworks and would say boom every time one went off!!
