Your naration always makes me smile.
What a fun 4th! You can't ask for more. Family, Watermelon, and fireworks. I am glad you guys had a good one!
We had a similar Fourth of July and it was a BLAST! We even got to see a parade. Fun, family and food, it was a good. Glad your family had a great holiday, you deserve it!
It was a good 4th :) Even better cause I was there!!
I'm glad your camera got some really good pics! Some of mine didn't turn out. My favorite? The family sleeping!
What a fun post! Sounds like you guys had an absolute blast! You got some great pictures. I think it is absolutely hillarious that Anna threw the sparkler down like that and said "danger!" Ha! She is downright funny.
How fun!!! I am so sad, we didn't have any snakes this year. Those are my favorite.
You sure have a fun way of telling stories. You're cute!!! Love, MOM
