Fourth of July-BB Style

While I try to catch up on blogging, I'll go ahead and work a little backwards.  

We had the BEST July 4th weekend!  We headed over to Eureka Springs after church on Sunday to spend some time at Bonny Brooke with Josh's mom.  Before we went though, we went Friday to go buy the fireworks.  Josh is the biggest kid all the time, but especially on the 4th.  He gets giddy about going to pick out fireworks.  He maps out a plan to hit up the best tents to ensure we get the best of what everyone has :) HG was so excited to go 'shoppin' in a tent.  In the first tent she just kept looking up and yelling 'tent, tent!' In the second tent, she got herself a basket and started loading up on the goods, that's my girl.                                           Here is what we ended up with.

When we got home, we decided to try out some smoke bombs.   As you can see, HG did not like them AT ALL.  The colored smoke coming towards here was so not cool :)

(side note: I am not responsible for this outfit, more on that later)

Once we got to Eureka, HG took a nap, we stuffed our faces with yummy food and decided to try a few fireworks.  It's like Christmas around here, we are not the best at waiting for either one.  Hadley was fine watching them from a distance in Glam's arms, but after each one she would say 'All Done, Bye'

Her little cheeks get so red, so we came in to cool off.

But not for long.  There is always something fun to do on the farm. 

Like driving a pink mustang.

 And going to see Lucky.

 He seemed very tired and kept yawning..lol

I forgot to take my camera when we did the actual fireworks. Not sure I could have done them justice, but we had a great time lighting them off.  We had a competition to see who picked out the best ones, and since this is my blog, I'll be happy to tell you I won :)  Actually, my big firework misfired and scared the pants off of us, but I say that counts as winning.

So, Happy Birthday America.  I'm thankful for a free country and I'm so grateful for the foundation of God that we are built on!
