{Happy Fourth}

We were lucky to be able to celebrate our fourth of July surrounded by our loved ones. We participated in the annual Dredge Family 4th of July BBQ and enjoyed catching up with Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins.



{#28 Firework Show}

We decided we would rather relax and spend as much time with my parents and sister's family as we could. So rather than going and staking out a spot at the firework show hours before . . . we loaded up in our vans about 15 minutes before the show was to start, found a spot a little ways off the free way, and opened up the back of our vans and enjoyed the show :) It was low key and perfect. Eli enjoyed the firework show in his dreams I'm sure. Grandma and Grandpa gladly volunteered to stay at home with the babes. They found a way to get out of going after all!



After we got home we did our traditional home firework show, which mainly consisted of sparklers :) As you can see from the picture, Addy was absolutely terrified.

What a beautiful country we are blessed to live in and how fortunate we are to enjoy the privileges we do. Happy Fourth of July, from our "All American Family!"
