4th of July

It was so great being back in the States for the 4th. I think I would have been totally depressed hanging out in another country on that day. We woke up that day after a night at Jeff's Mom's house where we stayed up late hanging out with friend's and family. After a great brunch we headed over to my families house were we got ready to go to the parade. The parade was fantastic as always and this year was great since so many of my family made it downtown. After that we went back to my parent's house for a bar-b-que. Unfortunately that is where our fun ended because Avery was deathly afraid of fireworks. My family went to Big Bear to light thiers off and watch the big fireworks, we stayed behind to watch movies with the small one. We did manage to get her out on my parents deck to watch some of the big fireworks and she thought those were beautiful. So maybe by next year she'll actually enjoy watching them go off
