Our Fourth

We enjoyed a relaxing Fourth with our church family.  Great friends, great food, and great fireworks made for a great day!

Happy Birthday America!

Almost every year  our hometown puts on a fireworks display at our local airport.  And the airport?   Why it is located just across the road from the warehouse that my hubby and his brother run their hay business out of  giving us wonderful access to private front row seating!!!  It is always the perfect end to our Fourth of July festivities!

And I must admit, our little hometown put on an AMAZING show this year!!!  There were fireworks dancing and shifting shapes and stunning us all!  It was one of the best shows I have ever seen!!!

These were also the 2nd set of fireworks we viewed this year.  Which is kind of funny because  we didn’t think that we were having fireworks in town at all this year and we were kinda bummed out thinking that we weren't going to see any fireworks this year.  However, as we were  coming into McRae on our way  home from our 2nd of July party, we began seeing fireworks over the horizon.  We got to just outside the city limits and pulled over to watch the show.  The boys were so excited!  And I was so relieved!  Yes, Virginia, we do get to watch fireworks this year!  It was one of those perfect timing things and we were thankful that we had hit McRae at just the right time!  It was the perfect ending to our day!

While we were watching the McRae fireworks Jesse exclaimed, “That one exploded like a big slice of pizza!”   Boy oh boy, how I love that boy!  He always puts a smile on my face!

Out of the pool…

How do you get six water babies out of the pool???

With bribery of course!!!

The five boys were easily bribed with a ride in the ranger down to the pond to feed the fish!  The only girl was easily swayed by the kittens.   Of course then the problem became getting her to leave them:-)

My boys (including my hubby and father in law) love fattening up the fish…they hope to be catching them and frying them up in the near future;-)
