After the program they presented a beautiful fireworks display and Grant was so still once the fireworks started. He wasn't scared but I think he was in awe of the beautiful fireworks.
On the actual Fourth of July we went to our friends' house Skip and Carolyn Russell. They live up the street and were kind enough to invite a bunch of folks over to their house and pool for a cookout to honor the day. The kids enjoyed themselves immensely. We ate alot but I think the boys liked the blue cupcakes the best.....
I couldn't resist this adorable photo of my little guy relaxing with a cup of iced sweet tea and taking in all that was going on around him.....
For once I actually asked Ryan to take a photo of me and the boys since I am usually the one behind the camera.....look at the boys swim suits.....I thought they were perfect for the 4th!!
We came home and rested for a while and then finished off the day by setting off some fireworks of our own. Here are the boys with their sparklers......always a favorite around here......
We had a wonderfully fun and patriotic day!!!! Hope that you had a wonderful 4th of July too!!!

I love your post! So many kids are disrespectful to our country and flag. My kids KNOW to stop and put their hands over their hearts when a flag is playing. They settle down and listen (for the most part) when the National Anthem is played. Maybe it's because they are military kids. When we lived on post (and when we are there visiting friends) and retreat sounds, they automatically stop, face the flag and SALUTE! (though they need only place their hands on their hearts...they do what their fathers do!). That's respect.
And girl, you look GOOD!
Love the photos of the boys - esp. the blue lips from the cupcakes and the adorable shot of Grant sitting in the chair with his legs crossed...that is so cute (can't wait to see you scrap that one)!!! You guys look like such a happy and loving family and it looks like you had a lot of fun on the 4th (and 3rd too).
