The Fourth Day of July

Usually we don’t do too much to celebrate Independence Day. Honestly, I usually don’t even deliberately wear blue or red in honor the holiday. I love the 4th of July and all, but it has never really been a big celebration in my world. This year, however, we really did it up in style. We started the day at a neighbor bash that’s always a lot of fun in Jon’s old stomping grounds. It started at noon, and let me tell you, it was HOT. We only stayed outside for thirty minutes or so, but Liam was sweating like a little piglet. In an effort to hinder his first haircut until absolutely necessary, I refuse to believe that he sweats so much because of his growing head of hair.

In the afternoon, we had Jon’s family over for munchies and some chill-time in the pool—it felt so good! It was nice to have a relaxing day to visit, play with the kiddos, and, of course, celebrate the Fourth.

After everyone left, we headed out to the Ranger game. Some friends of ours invited us to share their suite, and we jumped at the chance. Seems like Liam likes baseball just like his daddy. After the game (which the Rangers won), we stayed for the fireworks display. They were just as fantastic as the day!
