Happy 4th

Happy 4th of July! Nate had to work in the morning, so Trey and I went with Dave, Emily, Codi and her girls up to Brighton for the 4th of July breakfast. We used to do this every year when I was younger, but this was the first time I had gone back up since I've been married. It was really fun! Plus a lot of family was there. Rob and Lisa came down, a bunch of aunts, uncles, and cousins and Grandpa Bud himself. Yeah!My favorite part was relaxing at the cabin after breakfast. Much easier to keep track of Trey indoors then out.
Trey's favorite part was digging in the dirt for ants. He loves bugs.
We didn't stay for the parade this time, maybe next year.

Later that night we got together with our neighbors for our other Independents Day tradition, Cul-de-Sac of Fire! Basically we just have a neighborhood BBQ and let off fireworks. Trey had a great time until the fireworks started. After that it was hard to tell. He wanted to see what was going on, and wouldn't go inside, but he also refused to be put down and held my hands over his ears the whole time. At one point he notice Nate lighting fireworks and got really upset until he stopped and held him. I'm not sure if he just wanted Dad, or didn't like him playing with fire, but he didn't seem to mind when I was lighting fireworks.

Julie you look so cute pregnant! I really wish we could have been at the cabin with you all. Maybe next year.

Sounds like so much fun! Bristol isn't so sure of the fireworks either. He sits on someones lap the whole time. But he holds his own hands over his ears, even during the quiet ones. Kids are fun!
