Independence Day


We got super lucky this year with Independence Day falling on a Tuesday.  That meant that we got to take time and relax on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday AND Tuesday.  What a treat!  We were able to enjoy family and friends, a few cookouts, a parade and of course, FIREWORKS!  The girls had a nail painting party, swam in the pool multiple times and even lit off sparklers together.  Giselle is still a bit scared of the loud noise that a firework creates, so at 6, she still wears her “ears” (which means comfortable construction ear muffs to protect her ears from LOUD noises).  I wish I could buy Baxter a pair of those too because he does NOT like fireworks!! 

I have to say; the Fourth of July is moving up there to be one of my favorite holidays.  I love that it is warm outside, you get to eat yummy food, see awesome displays of lights in the sky AND most importantly, spend time with your family and friends.
