Fourth of July

After Christian's birthday party we went to the town's firework display. We played in the bounce houses and mingled with friends for  a bit, but decided to hang out as a family in the back of our truck to watch the fireworks. It was nice.

We enjoyed the glow bracelets and necklaces from Christian's goody bags as well as the colorful popcorn.

Oh, and here's one that shows off Grants shiner really well. He got a black eye when he fell into a speaker at the Alpaca Farm at Geemaw Camp. Then when we were back and it was starting to look better, he hit the same spot on the playground at the YMCA and it came back even darker. Poor kid. And... he loves balls and gloves. More about that in a future post. 

 

The fourth of July actually fell on a Sunday this year, so we went to church and reflected about the blessings that come from living in this free land.  That afternoon we went to a friends house, the Hemmers, for a Fourth of July/Goodbye party for the Sherrods. LeeAnn is a friend who I met in Richmond through Amy, but got to know better after we moved here. They have been living here for a few years, but are moving back to Hanover. It was a fun cookout!
