Each year since Ethan's birth, we have celebrated the 4th of July on the 3rd in the cozy little town of Garner. They put on a spec-TACK-aler (Larry Crowne, anyone?) fireworks display and have some great activities for the kids. I love that we can then spend all day on the 4th celebrating as a family without having to rush to get somewhere that evening!
Storms threatened to rain on our parade, but we made the most of it - even after we had to retreat to our cars to escape the lightening. And, for the record, man-made fireworks paired with God-made ones make for a pretty incredible show!
Yesterday, we spent the day with my sister and her beau (who just happens to be my best friend's brother!) and we had an impromptu family/college reunion. It was
awesome!
I am blessed to live in his beautiful country with some wonderful friends and a greater-than-great family. Hope y'all had a fun fourth, as well!
