July 4th

We really had a low key July 4th this year. It fell on a Sunday, so the big Woodlands parade was on the Saturday before.  We decided to skip it this time around....it was hot!  They boys were into for about 20 minutes last year, and well, we were just lazy this time!  Plus, Jill and Ryan were here and we were trying to hang out with them as much as possible.  On the 4th, we had everyone over to our house and just grilled and hung out.  Carson and I found some blue and red hair gel the week before and it was a big hit!  Check out my crazy man with his faux hawk.

All three boys with fancy hair!  It didn't do much in Cade's surfer hair.

We then all headed up to watch the fireworks show at Augusta Pines.  That is the true honey hole for fireworks!!  There is no traffic, you pull right up into the parking lot, they have seats for you, and we even took in our own drinks.  How fantastic is that??  The Woodlands really puts on a great July 4th deal, but it requires much planning and much traffic to get in and out of there for the big show.  Our boys don't know the difference at this point, so Augusta Pines is the place to be for now!!

Here are the kids enjoying the show.

All in all, a really tame 4th, but I sure enjoyed it!!
