the 4th

we went to b and pops' house the afternoon of the 4th for some fun, fellowship, and food. laney cuddled with her cousins for a bit...
the cousins decorated the table before we arrived. they even personalized our spot with handmade name cards.

pops surprised the kids with a nice little ride. do you remember the plywood the kids rode around in our front yard? well, he souped it up a bit and put it on a platform with wheels and a steering system.

and to top it off, he put the canoe on top and let them decorate it so they could go on a parade of sorts...



we shot a few fireworks and they loved it.



then the parade began. pops pulled them around the entire neighborhood. they rotated singing "God bless america", "father abraham", and "Jesus loves me". it was just about the most adorable thing in the world. i even knocked on a few doors of some friends so they could wave and enjoy the show...
what a wonderful holiday! spent with wonderful family!!!

Special memories were made that day and we'll have something to look forward to next year. They were definitely a cute band of performers. Love, B
