(Sorry... this post is a little late....)
Our Fourth of July was great. Although it happened to be on a Sunday we managed to have a great time celebrating our Nation's Birthday. We headed up to Vancouver to visit my family and later enjoyed a yummy BBQ at the Pickett's house.
Karen Pickett does not dissappoint when it comes to get-togethers! We ate dutch oven potatoes, steak shish-ka-bobs, BBQ chicken, fresh raspberries, and more.... needless to say we were all stuffed afterwards!
This was our attempt at getting a little family photo together. Quincy wasn't really diggin' it-- thus the grouchy face. But don't we look cute in our patriotic colors?
After the Pickett's BBQ we headed back over to my parents house where Quincy was able to do some sparklers....Grammie specifically got them for Quincy, knowing that he doesn't like loud fireworks. At first he was a little nervous to hold it, but after doing a few he started to get the hang of it.
Our Fourth of July fun didn't end there.... after getting warmed up with some little sparklers at my parent's house, we walked down the street for the Eisenhower's Annual Fourth of July Firework show. I must admit, my parents and the Pickett's tried to describe how crazy this neighborhood show was, but I remained doubtful. Despite my lack of faith... the show was PRETTY amazing... at least 20 minutes worth of constant fireworks-- the big ones.... ones you probably would watch at a county show..... needless to say we all enjoyed it.
The weather was pretty chilly later that night when the Eisenhower's put on their firework show, which is why Quincy is bundled in my mom's jacket and beanie. He was SO tired, as the firework show didn't start until 11:00PM, but he held out until it was over and was promptly asleep when we made our drive home at 12:30AM.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful, and safe Fourth of July....
God Bless America!

I'm so jealous that you got to go to my parent's house for the 4th. Lucky! Haha. Quincy was in the wrong city to celebrate the 4th if he doesn't like loud fireworks. The year we were there I felt like I was in a war zone it was so loud.
Yeah, the Eisenhower's fireworks were HUGE and because they were so big they were EXTREMELY loud, however, he was so tired the loud noise didn't even phase him. :)
TOO cute!! Glad you guys had a fun 4th :) Ours was filled with sparklers instead of fireworks too ;) Glad Quincy he got the hang of it! ANd i love the pic of him w/ Grandma :)
