July 3rd, 2019

We celebrated the forth, on the third with the Sugar Hill fireworks.

People from the area usually spend the day at the park.  They bring coolers and lunch and there is a huge set up of food trucks and bouncy houses.  If you don't get there hours early, then you'll never find parking.

Unless...you know someone who lives right by the park.  Which we do.  We parked our car at the Adam's house and we walked up to the park about 30 minutes before the fireworks started.

It was excellent.

To make things better, we saw some friends of ours who had been waiting since noon.  They had set up their blankets right at the very front of the grass.  We walked in, plopped down and waited a few minutes until the fireworks started.  Seriously, the best way to do the 4th of July.  :)





The fireworks did not disappoint!  





We love the forth of July so much.  And we love our country.  I feel so much gratitude to live in a free country and enjoy the rights and opportunities that I have had in my life.  There are many wonderful countries and people in the world, but nothing is as special as home.


God Bless America.


After my quick two day trip to Utah, I was able to bring Ethan home for a 10 day visit.


I was so wonderful having him home.  The kids were so happy to have their big brother back for a visit.


Ethan, Emmett and I took a trip to the park.




And we all spent the day at the water park.


Here are the little boys with shake mustaches.  


Jason's eyes.  Seriously.  This kid kills me.


Alaina brought in an onion for dinner.


One night Emmett came in to bed with us.  He had bad dreams.  See how the child sleeps?  He couldn't get closer to Rob if he tried.   I had the whole rest of the bed to myself.  :)


After Florida, I joined Lora and Mark and their family as they travelled to Utah.  It was wonderful being able to take a quick trip to see family.  I also got to attend Danny & Anna's wedding.
