Happy Birthday America!

Our Fourth of July weekend started off with a BANG! (pun intended)

Friday, some friends and I took all the kiddos up to a local state park to play and swim and the day could NOT have been more perfect!

They kids had a FANTASTIC time swimming, playing in the sand, and trying to catch fish :) Anthony tried his hardest but the fishies were just too quick!

I don't think there was a single tear shed or whine uttered. Seriously. The day could not have been more perfect! It was peaceful, fun, and relaxing! Since it all went so well, my friends and I decided to make it a weekly event! Score!

Saturday, Anthony wasn't feeling well, so we just chilled. We were supposed to go watch fireworks, but with him not feeling well, we opted to stay home and do some of our own. The kids LOVED it!

feeling much better with some explosives in his hand :)

Sunday, I did a bit of impromptu shopping and had a most awesome much needed day to myself! PERFECTION!

oh how she loved dancing with the sparklers!

On the fourth, we just kinda a hung out. We met a friend at the park and the kids jumped on the moon bounce, fished in the pools, got a cool glitter tattoo, and rode a mini train. Ant was grumpy, but we managed to have fun anyway... The town fireworks were rained out, but we will catch them on the rain date...

I hope everyone had a FANTASTIC holiday weekend. I don't think we could have asked for a better one, it was low key, relaxing, and fun!
