Fourth of July

Most people would have pictures of their families all decked out in their red, white and blue. Pictures of fireworks and cookouts. Well.......I don't!

We spent the day at my BIL's house with family and friends. It rained the entire day, so we spent it indoors. Marshall (my BIL) cooked up an awesome low country boil and we sat around the kitchen and living room and ate, watched movies, played games and listened to the girls laugh all day. Leah had spent the night and so they had played until they were both exhausted and about to fall over. We got both girls in their jammies and they just loved all over each other before Leah had to go home.

Emmaline and Red. Red is getting old and Emmaline kept asking if he was going to have to go in a box like Patches did. Of course she asks me the same thing when I tell her I am old :-0

Since it rained all day and we were tired of sitting in the house.....we did what every other family in the neighborhood did.....set up the chairs in the garage and watch all the other neighbors sit in their garage!

Emma got tired of sitting and decided to go stand just outside of the garage in the rain. For some reason she thought this was funny....
This was the look on her face when she realized the rain was not only wet, but cold!

Then she realized that I was not going to make her come back in....she got really excited!

Then she decided it was the funniest thing EVER!!!

Then she said "Thanks Mom!" I LOVE this girl!!!
On Sunday after church we went to a Peruvian restaurant and then on to Jungle Jim's. We got done, got back, packed up and drove home.
It was a GREAT weekend!
