Our 4th of July Weekend

We have a tradition of watching the fireworks on Grandma and Grandpa Cazier's front lawn.  The view is great and we always have so much fun!

We always light a few fireworks of our own.  Apparently you aren't supposed to put a girl (me) in charge of buying fireworks.  I bought things like sparklers and snaps, but the boys didn't think they were too cool so Curtis bought a few 'real' fireworks.  Funny thing... our little dare devil was actually afraid of snaps.

 

 

Brinley absolutely loves her uncle Steve.  They had so much fun dancing together, while eating popcorn of course.

 

Dustin's grandparents are so sweet.  I so admire their selflessness and can only hope that when I'm their age I can look at my own family and see the same greatness I see in theirs.

We stayed up way too late,

 

then the next morning Chelsea and I ran the Freedom Run 15k.   It was a great run!  I think a 15k is the perfect distance.

We were able to ride in the Cruise-in parade with Mike.  Brinley had a blast (probably because she wasn't confined in her car seat).  She kept saying, "This is so much fun."  She loved waving at everyone.  Plus, Grandpa's Studebaker is pretty cool.

Mike was able to take Grandma and Grandpa for a ride in the Stude.  I know it meant a lot to all three of them.  They really have a love and appreciation for old cars.

 

It was a great weekend! I am so proud to be an American!
