I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! Ours was nice and relaxing, which I guess is just what we needed! After enjoying the first part of the day at home just the three of us, we joined friends Amber and Mikey and their sweet little one at the pool. We swam and played, then ate a yummy dinner of ribs, grilled corn, mac and cheese, local tomatoes, pasta salad, Tommy's green beans, and a few other goodies. It was great - I love summertime cooking! We then headed up to the golf course to watch some beautiful fireworks. Tommy and I were worried as to how Addie Kate would react, and our worrying was worthy - she did NOT like them at first. I'm not sure which was louder - her crying or the actual fireworks! Finally, she calmed down, still not liking them, but at least realized they weren't going to hurt her. Bless her heart, it was about 2 hours past her bedtime and all she wanted to do was go to sleep - those darn fireworks just kept waking her up! Here are some pictures of our fun day!

What a sweet smile...
Followed by the piggy!

While the fireworks were going - you can see that she's not happy!
Mommy trying to get her to enjoy them...
Back to Daddy, burying her head in his chest!
She finally let us sit down with her to watch the rest of the fireworks:
Let us all remember how truly fortunate we are to live in this great country, with freedoms that some in other parts of the world can only dream of! God Bless America!
