scenes from the 4th

This 4th of July weekend was a much needed rest from our busy lives. We went swimming, had bbq's, spent time with friends, played games, and ate a lot of good food. It has been in the 90's here and we are loving it.
On the 4th we went to my aunts for a big party. After we went to watch the big firework show and then came back and had our own little show. Dev is like a little kid when it comes to blowing stuff up.
(my aunt made that, for real! It was delish)
 Do we look alike? I don't think so..but some of my family does.


Love this picture of my grandpa.
My cousin on the tramp
Loving the flip flop tan lines on my aunts feet
The place where we went to watch the fireworks had lots of little food vendors. My mom and I had to go out to find the best ones. We loved the Navajo tacos and the berry funnel cake.
Dev got some awesome shots of the fireworks. We were right underneath them and you could feel your body shake when each one went off. Can you imagine his excitement?

We are so grateful for our freedoms and feel so blessed to live in this country!!
