4th of July!

The 4th of July was especially exciting for me because I was getting out of the house!! Since we had decided to skip out on the big crowded and hot festival this year before my bedrest, we all stuck with the original plan and had a BBQ at Rhiannon and Ben's house and watched the fireworks from the field right by their house. It was perfect. I sat the whole time and hung out with my friends while the kids played outside in the water and the guys BBQed. I was a little apprehensive as to how I would feel since my blood pressure medicine makes me light headed if I sit for too long, but I felt GREAT! I think a little outing was just what I needed.

All ready to go . . . just not wanting to take a photo.
That's better!

Chip got pictures of them playing outside.




Watching the fireworks.

The gang was all there -- Matthew, Carys, Makayla and Emily!
It was a great night! I love the 4th since it is one of Lily's favorite nights of the year. It is beyond wonderful to watch her run around and have fun with her friends while watching the fireworks.
