Happy Independence Day!

I think the 4th of July is my favorite holiday. We have a tradition here that we have stuck with for about 4 years now. It starts with going to the parade with friends (we sit in the same spot every year). Then we spend the day at the "4th @ Firestone". It's activities that the town puts together. There's music, food, activities for the kids, and booths for people to advertise. Towards evening we spend at own friend's house, the Taylor's, where a bunch of families get together and eat and socialize, while the kids play. Once it gets dark, we head over to the golf course and wait for the fireworks to start. It is so fun being able to create these traditions with friends since we live so far away from our family.
This picture was taken last year. I will post this year's pictures later.
