Happy 4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July this year! We had Daniel of course and it was fun to celebrate his first real holiday but we also had my family come up to Spartanburg for the weekend. We started the day by going to the church for breakfast and games and it was a lot of fun. We ate some amazing food and Mike and Josh played tug of war.

After the church we went home and played games and went for a nice walk and then we ate some more awesome food! We decided to do the big meal for lunch because we knew that our evening was going to be really busy.

This how Dan spent his afternoon :)

 For Mike and I (but especially Mike) it just isn't Independence Day without fireworks. So rather than just doing some lame ones here, I tried to find a show that we could go see. I found out that Greenville just a festival with games, rides, concerts and a fireworks show at the end.

Daniel spent his evening with Grandma. He was cuddled and protected from the crowds. He was such a trooper the whole night. He was awake a lot but was a happy boy. Then once the fireworks started he fell asleep..silly boy :) The rest of us really enjoyed the atmosphere and had fun listening to the music and just being out of the house. The fireworks show was a little shorter than we're used to but it was really good. All in all it was a great July 4th filled with good food, good company and lots of fun :) It was a great way to celebrate this wonderful country that we're blessed to live in and the freedoms that we enjoy.
