fourth with the family.

For yet another year, we stayed in town for the Fourth of July weekend. But, we made the most of it and had a grand ol' time. We started the weekend off right: at the pool.

The kids really love swimming this year—both are so brave, especially our fearless Sissy girl. It is the best way to wear them out. Daddy joined us when he got off of work and we all loved that very much. 

On the actual Fourth, we had the Moore's over for dinner, drinks and fun. After we ate, we rode the buggy downtown to the July 4th Festival. There were rides, games, inflatables, and a DJ. The kids had a blast running around with their cousins. We stayed and played until after Thunder on the Mountain, Birmingham's fireworks show at Vulcan Park. We had the best seat in the house! 

Happy Birthday, America!
