4th of July

What a wonderful 4th of July weekend!  We went out to Mineral Wells to spend time and have dinner with our family out there and to watch the fireworks show.  We were pleasantly surprised to find out that Aunt Kim, Uncle Gene, and Michael, Lauren, and Austin would be at Meme's house to visit as well!  We had a great dinner with good food and good company, and the kids played some ball before we went to watch the fireworks.  

Mom was the only one who went with us to the show, but I know that she really enjoyed not only the show, but watching Zane and Gage's reactions.  

We weren't too sure what Gage would think of the the loud fireworks once we got there(plus it was way past his bedtime, and he was getting a little on the grumpy side), but he and Zane played a little before they started...

... and once they started, both boys were in awe!  Gage stopped being grumpy, and just stared up to the sky.  He didn't even get scared of the loud sounds, which was great!

So all in all, it was a very enjoyable 4th of July, and we were very happy to get to see everyone again!
