This past weekend was our country's birthday. It's also mine and Collin's half wedding anniversary. We've now been married 11.5 years! We were invited to a few events and planned to take the kids to see some fireworks. Grace has been going to bed way later than she should be so we knew she'd be awake to see them. She also took a 3.5 hour nap earlier. This was her first year to watch them and Caden's second. He used to be in bed before the show happened. We started our evening at my brother and sister-in-law's house. Collin and Caden went swimming before dinner. My brother and dad cooked out. I stayed inside most of the time since this heat is getting hard on me.
After spending several hours with family we went to a new church friend's house in the country where they shoot off fireworks every year. They said they have a party every 4th of July and so we might make it a tradition. Visiting them and seeing their property made Collin and I want to really move to the country. The kids had so much fun running around, watching the fireworks, holding sparklers, and playing.
We didn't get home until 11pm and we still managed to make it to first service Sunday morning. Happy 4th of July everyone!
Here are a few pictures. it's hard to get a good picture of everyone. You can see my growing belly!
