4th of July

Our 4th of July holiday was fairly low key, but actually pretty fun!  Columbus did their really big fireworks the night of the 3rd, so we took our neighbor and went downtown for that.  It was a pretty impressive show, and the girls did way better than we thought they would. Our first big city firework experience. Success.

The actual day of the 4th was surprisingly sunny, so we grabbed a box of donuts from the the grocery store first thing in the morning and went to Highbanks Metro Park for a little hike and a picnic breakfast.  It was beautiful, and the weather was perfect!

For dinner Brinlee requested more breakfast.  So we had waffles, and then went over to the neighbor's house for hotdogs.  Those totally go together, right? 

We talked about packing up again and going to see the county fireworks, but we had been up pretty late the night before, and the girls were more than content sitting outside on our little patch of grass finally enjoying some non-rainy outside time.  So we spent our evening that way instead.

Sure do love these all-American babies!

What a blessing it is to be raising our family in a country that allows us all the freedoms and opportunities we have.  We are grateful for it every day!

Happy (belated) 4th of July!
