It #1 meant time to celebrate being an amarican. What better way that with a celebration on america's birthday right?!
and for once and I cannot beleive I am posting this it was a step of independance for us as a family. Now let me explain. Normally, it would be a BBQ with the fam... that would more than likely be a fest of who's who and the whats what and just in genral a good time while we were there, but then talk as soon as we leave. THIS YEAR I DIDNT DO IT!!!!
Funny thing is that it actually was much easier than I thought. Its getting easier and easier to say no to getogethers and in turn makes me feel a little better.
Dont get me wrong I MISS SOME PEOPLE LIKE CRAZY! but in reality it is what it is and I am better of for not playing in to it.
So what did we do?!
Madaya, Shelby and I went to riverfront park we played in the water fountain, read a book on a blanket in the park and listened and took in all the sights and sounds. It was a great afternoon. Our friends went with us ( ry and o ) and selina and the kids met us too. We packed dinners ( sandwiches and snacks for the kiddo's ) and just hung out. The weather was phenominal and the fireworks were breathtaking. It was a wonderful time!
Mike wasnt able to make it as he was working - but he did get to come home early! He met us at the house at about 11pm.
It was a great 4th of July and next year I hope we can be with more friends, perhaps at the lake?! And maybe even have our boat by then?! Who knows.... but I do know what I will not be doing :).
Happy 4th of July!
BANG!
yeah - they were born that way ;)
Smile girls :)
