Our 4th of July!

We headed to North Carolina on Thursday before the 4th! Carter Michael had stayed with us after youth camp for 5 days. He was such a big boy and we had a blast together!I am sooooo thankful for the time the boys all got to spend together. Carter was ready to see his Daddy & Mommy and boy were they glad to have him back in their arms again. I can't really say that I blame them but I sure enjoyed my nephew!
We spent the 4th with Michael, Amanda, Carter & Amy. We went swimming at Amy's pool. My boys and Carter loved the BIG POOL as they called it! The men grilled out for us, or Tim grilled and Michael was his moral support! LOL! The food was good and that is all that matters. We spent a lot of time out on Amy's patio, I love her patio! We used sidewalk chalk to color her bricks and just hung out together. We all went to watch the fireworks in Hickory. They were good but we had never seen any fireworks that were set off so FAST! Michael & Tim were laughing their heads off, what else is new? All the boys loved the fireworks and we pretty much had a front row seat.
I have always loved 4th of July, and there is no better way to spend it than to be with family!!! I wish our whole family could have been together...but we had a awesome time!

Cool...I'm glad the boys all had a good time together. It was strange to see Mike and Amanda at church by themselves. LOL. I know what you mean about the fourth....it's a lot of fun.
