We had a very busy, yet very fun, 4th of July this year. It really has to be one of my favorite holidays. I mean, who doesn't love American flags, fireworks, cookouts and country music (seems like country music just screams 4th of July but maybe that is because I live in Arkansas). We started off the weekend by meeting the Cornetts and the Burrows at the Rodeo of the Ozarks parade. The kids were in heaven! Cotton candy, Popsicles, floats and horses...what could be better than that? Cole loved waving at the various floats this year and seeing all of the tractors and horses. As the parade was ending it started raining which enabled all of us to curl up and take a 4th of July nap!!! That night our neighborhood had a fabulous cookout and we were able to meet so many new and wonderful people. This neighborhood is so much different than our last one and we love it. One thing that we thought would be so fun was that our neighborhood was going to set off fireworks...the big ones. We talked to Cole about it all afternoon and he was very excited...until he heard the first firework and then he buried his face in my neck and said "I go home now. I don't like boom noises." So, while Cole and I got ready for bed Rhonald sat out on the back patio and watched them for all of us. Oh well - maybe next year! On the actual 4th we enjoyed a very relaxing and yummy cookout with the Burrows and Vos. The kids played their hearts out while we all sat around eating and talking...it was wonderful. I do love this holiday-so much so that I am already excited for next year!
