4th of July

We had a crazy, but wonderful 4th of July.  We packed up the truck July 6th and headed out July 7th from Memphis.  However, we still had a great 4th.

To start the day off, we went to our friends' (Bostons) parents house to swim and BBQ.  The kids loved swimming!

Next, we went to our friends the Powell's house for some more BBQ and swimming.  Lucy LOVED being in the pool and had a great time.

Afterwards, we went home, packed some boxes, rested and got dressed in our 4th of July finest!

  I promise, I did put sunscreen on my kids during the day; in fact more than once.   I think some of the redness was from a heat rash.    Brandon's parents and Alizabeth arrived in the late afternoon.

In the evening we headed with our friends the Penningtons to watch the wonderful firework show the city of Germantown put on.

Just a side note, Lucy turned 9 months on the 4th of July!

It was a crazy, exhausting day, but it was so much fun to spend some of our last few days in Memphis with great friends.
