4th of July 2014

Usually on the 4th of July, we head to Illinois for a week but since this year Brandon and Angela were getting married a few weeks after, we stayed in Georgia.  We had a fun time watching fireworks on the 3rd and grilling out on the 4th.  We didn't spend it with anyone but Laura since our little ones were under the weather but we made the most of it.  We watched fireworks and tailgated for dinner with a pizza from a local restaurant and ice cream from Publix.  It was actually kind of cool for July.  To keep Liam and Marlo busy, Blake walked them over to the dollar store and let them each pick out something.  Liam picked out a thing of hand sanitizer that you attach to your backpack and Marlo picked out a crown.  We brought several glow sticks and made our own fun while waiting a while before fireworks.  The kids LOVED the fireworks!!
