freedom and fireworks

This 4th of July holiday was a bang! (pun intended) We have had so much fun and have been so busy.

Last weekend we went to the annual firework show in Seagoville. It was a good wind down after the hype of Ashlyn's birthday party. Sitting on the lawn at the fire station, eating some cold watermelon sipping on ice cold lemonade while drenching ourselves in mosquito spray - it was almost like a country song.

Friday night we sailed Lake Ray Hubbard (see previous post and this picture).

Saturday we spent the day at my mother and father-in-laws with a large group of people (35 or more)- most we met for the first time and enjoyed getting to know, some were family members and a few were friends. There was a whole lot of swimming going on, good food and drinks, many conversations and a few small fireworks for Jax and Ashlyn. What's the 4th of July without some sparklers?!

Sunday night we went to my mom and dad's for burgers that will rock your world. My dad's "woody burgers" are the bomb. We enjoyed hanging out with long time friends of my parents, I slipped away briefly for a photo shoot (man, the weather was perfect) and came back in time for homemade ice cream, watermelon and small talk about Michael Jackson and other world issues. The kids played kickball, popped some snappers and we loaded up and headed home to end our holiday weekend.




Good times. Memorable. Exhausted.
