4th of July

On Thursday, we celebrated the 4th of July with the Taylors.  We gathered at Aftie and Aaron's for breakfast, patriotic songs and stories of the veterans who have touched our lives.

 Jett, Tucker and Dallas had fun playing on the teeter-totter

We all enjoyed listening to the stories and singing songs!

Later that night we had our own fireworks show!

Great little fireworks show!

 The neighbors were shooting off huge mortars!

 It might have been a little loud for the wee ones

That night we had a sleepover with all the kids!  It was a great 4th of July!
