4th Of July

The girls' patriotic portrait

For the past two years we have been in North or South Carolina for the fourth of July. So we were kind of lost souls this time around. But Buck got the day off. That alone was reason to celebrate. So we.... went to the aquarium. 

And thankfully some of my relatives invited us over for dinner and fireworks that evening. They had about one million fireworks too, so... we felt festive. 

June loved the pop its. (is that what they're called?)

The moon was unimpressed with our fireworks

The remains. Seriously, one million fireworks or so.

The next day we were invited to go into the mountains and have a barbeque with our friends. We found a spot by the river and all was well.

It turned out to be a great weekend. I really love summer.
