July 4th - The Second Half

After nap we headed down to Little Elm to join Jen and her girls for grilling brats and then headed to the town's fire works over the lake. There was not as much there as we thought, but it was still fun, and the fire works were pretty good. There are so many places to choose around here I'm sure we will try out some others, but this was good for the age the kids are now. :) We got great seats and the girls had lots of fun while waiting. Lorelei looooved them as usual and said her favorites were "the big ones" and Makin did not get phased one bit. He looked like he was ready to fall asleep once he got used to them, then towards the end waved to them. :) The traffic was not too bad, but we have been a bit spoiled the previous 3 years. :) Thankfully both kids fell asleep on the way home!

First Fourth Of July















































Lorelei loved getting her first sno cone! They got to choose any flavor, but thankfully she was happy with just red, as I had to help eat some of it. She was just super excited to have a red tongue.


Our view and pre fireworks fun. There was live music so they did some dancing. They also loved the glow bracelets and was a great idea to keep them occupied. Will definitely do next year! Lorelei requested the glowing hair they were selling right next to us, so I guess we'll see if she wants to spend her piggy bank money on that next year! :)

How blessed we are to live in this country! Happy Fourth!
