Hello Everyone! Hope you all had a safe & Happy 4th! We certainly did. This was Ella Kate’s first 4th! We ate and ate, and then ate some more! We hung out by the pool almost all day! It was just a good & relaxing day. The girls had a blast, they loved the fireworks! Emily loved shooting them herself. Ella Kate liked the colors but not the noise makers. Papaw was here with us, it was just a great weekend. We went fishing late that afternoon waiting for it to get dark to do the fireworks, and Emily caught 7 fish! Some were pretty big. So Stephen cleaned them, I cooked them, & we all ate them! They were really good too! Celebrating the 4th made me thankful for all of our troops and blessed to live in America! God bless America, the land that I love!
