A totally perfect 4th of July!

I think the 4th of July is my second favorite holiday--after Christmas. I'm not sure why. But ours was absolutely perfect and I hope yours was, too!

First, I let Brooke have company and we tie-dyed some festive shirts!



Then we did some fireworks...yes, I am one of those bad mothers who lets her children play with fireworks.





The next day (the actual 4th) we went to the pool and oh my goodness, it was SO much fun. It was not too hot, the water was perfect temperature and clean and there was a breeze!






Then we went to my sisters for a cookout where everyone and their brother was there! Lots of good food, good folks and fun!







Then Jeff, the kids and I headed back to Zamora for the most awesome fireworks show ever!!! Sure beats trying to grab a spot to see the ones over Vulcan! We just spread a blanket out on the grass and took it all in!
