4th of July

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY....

This year we were more anxious about Lizzy returning from her mission trip that we did not really focus on the holiday at hand. As we headed out the door to go watch the fireworks we got the call from Liz that they were 30 minutes from home....so instead of heading to our original destination we headed to the church for a quick pick up.

With everyone helping to unload and the announcement that the fireworks were going to be released early (we had another heavy storm coming our direction) we headed to the open area and were able to watch the firework display as a family. It was not the traditional sit outside the car and wait...wait ....wait. It was sit in the car and 5 minutes later the show was on. (I like this version).

I do have to say that I miss big family gatherings and BBQing before the big event with our own little fireworks on the street. Well maybe next year:)
