Celebrating the 4th

It was hot and humid without a trace of a breeze, but we had a blast celebrating the 4th of July with family and friends. We stuffed ourselves with yummy "cookout food" and played a friendly

(yet competitive) father/son game of corn hole.

Emma needed a lot of water after "working" in the garden
and playing in the grass!
Sparklers made me feel like a kid again!

We went to our first 4th of July parade as a family. Emma had been up since 5:30 am and was super tired, but she still enjoyed waving her flag and clapping to the music.
