July 4th

The Fourth of July has become one of my favorite holidays over the past few years.  It's been the one holiday where we've stayed here and started traditions.  

The only thing better than having your own pool is having friends with a pool!!  We went to our friends annual 4th of July pool party (of course when it was raining). 

Emery's 1st Fourth of July!!

 We went to our favorite parade in New Albany.

The kids walked away with a ridiculous amount of candy!!

 We ended the night with ice cream and fireworks.  Emery made my day with how well she did at fireworks.  Even though they started 3 hours after her bedtime, she loved them and kept reaching to grab them.

 Connor literally walked around holding his ears the whole night.  The kids love fireworks and it makes  the late bedtimes worth it!

Emery passed out on the way home!
