the fourth

the fourth of july.  it marks the beginning of summer for us after a busy june.  and i love it.

this year, we did the lake cities parade with our church family.

 i guess parades make little girls tired.

my 3 kiddos.  love each and every one in a unique way.

the boys said the sun was too bright so here they are in their cool shades.

and that night, after playing/volunteering at the event, we enjoyed the fireworks show.
