Happy Fourth of July!!

Happy birthday to our wonderful country! We had fun celebrating with family and friends.

Our town has an annual parade. We've never been before because traffic is usually a pain, but since we have a golf cart this year we decided we'd check it out. Unfortunately, we slept in so we missed it. 

Later on family came over to grill out and swim. The kids had a great time swimming and hanging out with cousins and we had fun sitting on the back deck chatting.

Sadly, this year we ended our 6 year tradition of "Jared's Redneck Fireworks Display". Since Jared has been so busy traveling he didn't have time to drive across the state line to buy  a truckload of illegal fireworks (I'm sure our neighbors aren't so sad). Instead of watching fireworks in our yard we drove the golf cart into town and joined our neighbors in front Partners Pizza and enjoyed the fireworks over the lake. It was a lot of fun, and the golf cart traffic was not as bad as we had expected.

4th of July is one of our favorite holidays, can't wait for next year! 

We got stuck in a little traffic on our way home.
