4th of July

As in true 4th of July fashion, we had our celebration last longer than just the 4th.

Paige kicked off the festivities with her parade at school.

As my mom would say, only at a Southern parade would you see a local fire truck!

Ellie and Madi got ready for the 4th too with their cute festive bows

After we got back in town we headed down to the beach to celebrate the 4th.

On the actual 4th of July we took it easy and relaxed at home.  We also went to a neighborhood social and then met one of Brad's coworkers for fireworks.

This year we watched fireworks in Daphne and they did not disappoint!

Waiting on the fireworks. 

Paige was not scared nor interested in the fireworks.  I am glad she was scared but thought it was kind of funny that she could have cared less that they were going on.

Thank you to all the men and women who have served our country and continue to serve in the Armed Forces!
