4th of July Fun and Family

   For the week leading up to the 4th, we had family from Texas and Georgia here. It is always so wonderful to see them, eat (my uncles don't go anywhere without fixing amazing food), and just catch up. On the actually day of the 4th, we went to the park. My grandpa was being honored with a quilt of valor, and most of the family was able to be there, which was really special. My grandparents don't say much, but you could tell they were beaming with pride over his service, and the family they created.

The fireman of course have there volleyball tournament every year, so we watch for awhile.

Then went home, took naps, and went back to town later for more food, family, and fireworks. Hunter was not a fan of the fireworks. Although he did fall asleep on Taylor's lap before the big fireworks even began, and slept right through them (its very rear that he will fall asleep on one of us, and unheard of to even close his eyes when in crows), he was one exhausted baby!

We had a great day followed by an awesome weekend of birthdays and a very important anniversary!
