We were so excited to have Granny and Grampy here for the 4th of July this year! We went and saw one of the local firework shows, which was pretty impressive, and we set some of our own off. Perhaps not quite as spectacular as we had hoped, but the kids were impressed, nonetheless!! We were able to enjoy some yummy food (BBQ of course!) and enjoy one another's company! Lainey would have been right up there with Val setting off fireworks if we had let her, but luckily we were able to keep her occupied! Aleece loved pointing out the colors and shapes at the big firework show and Lennon was mellow as always! I love getting to celebrate the holidays with our cute kids and seeing how much fun they have! It's fun to carry on traditions and even more fun when your children come to expect them! :)
The kids had such a great time catching fireflies with Granny and Grampy! Granny and Grampy even bought them some fun bug catching equipment and we went out at dusk and the kids caught many, many fireflies! It was fun watching them do something I remember doing as a child! The girls kept their fireflies until the next day when they decided to return them to their natural habitat! Anyone who knows Leecy T knows that she is a lover of all creatures big and small (minus maybe spiders! But really, who likes spiders!) and she didn't want anything to happen to them! She has such a tender heart!
the kids with Granny and Grampy!

It looks like you had a great fourth of July. How fun to be able to celebrate it with your parents!
We had a great time even though it was pretty hot and muggy. We wish we could be with you every week!
great minds think alike. Reese had the same dress for the 4th.
