Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July (a day late)! ha We had loads of fun (and HEAT) this year! Even though Andrew was on-call, he only got one phone call the whole day! woohoo! I forgot my camera yesterday morning, but Jane got to experience her first Carthage July 4th parade. That is a big deal, my friends! Graeme was so excited about all the fire trucks, he was almost hoarse from "beeeeeeeeeeeeeping" with the trucks as they drove by! HA If you have never been to the Carthage parade, you are missing out! When I say fire trucks; I don't mean just 5 or so. I mean like 35 or so! We comment every year, that we hope a fire doesn't break out on July 4th in Moore County, b/c there would be no fire trucks available! ha Poor Ceilidh didn't have quite as much fun, as she got stung by her first bee waiting for the parade to start. frown Thankfully, the welp has subsided and the gobs of candy being thrown at her helped dry her tears. wink

Later that evening, we went to Pops and ZZ for a cookout; and watched the fireworks at the Fair Barn. We had a lot of fun yesterday, even if it was VERY hot and late when we got home. Ceilidh slept until 9am this morning. That is unheard of in this household! ha Thanks to all who fought for our right to be a nation! You were brave men. Happy Birthday, America!


Notice the missing strawberries on the flag cookie? That culprit is just too cute! ha

Jane wore Ceilidh's first July 4th dress!


A little bean bag toss with ZZ holding the bucket. She is a brave woman! ha

These two are pure silliness!




Along with jumpy houses, face painting, and fire trucks; they had pony rides as well!
