a little fourth of july recap...

We had a wonderful fourth of July!
 Our street had it's 15th annual block party.  Everyone is out, talking and eating together.
It was fun to use our front yard.
(We are usually in the backyard when it comes to parties...)
 My baby girl celebrated her first independence day:
Ryder thought that he would want to ride in the parade, but was much happier being carried:
(maybe next year...)
I love this man!
 The hit of the day was the slip and slide:
He spent the ENTIRE day on this thing:
Ryder did NOT like the fireworks, so we headed home for bed.
Eden was not phased at all, but had fun listening to the noises, so we just sat and listened until she fell asleep...
It was a wonderful day and I came away from the festivities knowing my neighbors even better, a few pounds heavier from all the tasty food (Kit smoked his ribs... they are AMAZING!), and a very grateful heart for our home.  There were already plans that were being made for next year!
