4th of July

Happy 4th of July everyone!!

This year we spent our entire day off with very dear friends. 1st stop was at our friends Jason, Jen & Miss Ava's house for their annual Luau party. There was a huge spread of food, hula hoop contests, a slip-n-slide, water activities for the kiddos & lots of eating, drinking & mingling going on. 

Shane had to work so he was unable to go with us but Mase & I managed to enjoy the afternoon without him. Before we left, we had to pose with our pretty hawaiian hostesses - Miss Ava & her mama Jen :) Such a fun afternoon!

Shane got home from work just in time to enjoy our annual gathering of the cul-de-sac neighbor's for more food & watching of the fireworks. Mason only made it to 8pm when he started to get fussy so I put the little guy to bed & unfortunately he missed the fireworks show. 

Later in the evening we watched the kids set off their fireworks in the cul-de-sac & then the neighbors up the street set off their HUGE display of fireworks for almost 2 hours which must have cost them hundreds of dollars - it was pretty awesome! Hoping they keep up the tradition in the years to come so that we don't have to drive anywhere to watch the fireworks!

Hope everyone had a safe & wonderful holiday! I don't know about you but it was sure nice having a day off during the week!?
