Happy July 4th!

    We had a great week. From another great ice cream gathering to celebrating our freedom and the birth of our nation.

Carter and his buddies are fixing up this boat so they can access more fish. This photo was taken right before they went on their maiden voyage.

    Sunday night ice cream is still going strong.

 

Ice cream night wears Ada out!

    Andy treated us to a prequel fireworks show the night before the 4th and it was spectacular. Sadly, it also resulted in an injury.

 

    Poor Kat got hit with a fairly big piece of shrapnel and we had a bit of a blood bath on our hands. Thankfully she's going to be fine and our amazing friend, nurse Stephanie, came to the rescue and glued up Kat's hole in her head so she didn't have to get stitches.

Kat and Ada sharing some love.

 

    Kat came better prepared the next night. The hard hat was priceless! Charlie put together this little care package for Kat and we could't help but add a head wound to the little cat drink. 

She's the best!

    We had a bit of a wet start to our backyard barbecue but we didn't let that stop us. And of course it stopped and dried up quickly.

 

    Best friends and family!

    And then it was out front for a neighborhood free-for-all fireworks extravaganza!

 These cute girls loved the sparklers.

And Ada finished up the night with a sparkler and the best cheesy smile!

    Another great July 4th with some of the best neighbors, friends and family!
