We had a wonderful 4th of July! Chuck intercepted Landry in the morning & let me sleep in a little (until 8:00!) Then Chuck spent a few hours playing Ultimate Frisbee (his favorite) with the guys while the kids & I went to Walmart & did laundry. After the boys’ naps we went over to some friends’ house where several other of our friends were hanging out. We had a cookout & just talked & watched the kids run around. It was such a great time & what a pleasure to get to catch up with some old friends who we hadn’t seen in a while.

Here’s Landry playing with his good friend, Kaylee. Around 7:30 we left & went to this Christian campground out in the country where they had a huge 4th of July celebration with fun activities for the kids & music, as well as fireworks. It was a magical experience for the boys! They were both in awe of the fireworks & the noise didn’t seem to bother them at all! I was a little hesitant to even go thinking that the loud noise would upset them in addition to it being WAY past bedtime by the time the show would begin! But it was great & Chuck reminded me that it’s okay to let the kids get out of their routine every now & then, especially for special occasions like 4th of July. He’s right!! These are the experiences in life that make so many memories. Landry’s still talking about the cool fireworks!

Priceless…my what we can learn about the joy of friendships by looking at Landry’s expression. Isn’t it nice to just slow down to enjoy hanging out with friends!
