4th of July Weekend

I found these pictures today and realized I never blogged about our 4th.  It was pretty laid back this year.  Travis and I got back from Vegas on Sunday and decided to stay in Springdale for the night.  We went to AQ Chicken with NaNa and PaPa for lunch and then just hung out at their house for the afternoon.

When it got close to dark we headed out to watch the fireworks at Cross Church.  We ended up in the Olive Garden parking lot and had a PERFECT view!  Beau liked watching from the sunroof!

Looking out the window with NaNa;)

 On Monday we got to visit with Brady and Joanie and their little boy John.  Brady and Travis were great friends in college and then Brady moved to Kansas City after they graduated.  He got married about 3 years ago and we just love his wife Joanie.  We don't get to see them nearly enough!  They have a little boy named John that is just 3 months younger than Beau.  It was SO fun to see them playing together!!!

This is a picture that we all never believed would really happen!!  Travis and Brady with their babies!  I just LOVE it!!

That afternoon we grilled out and had steaks with Travis's family.  Yummy!  Beau looked so cute in his red, white, and blue!

 PaPa brought in a cold watermelon and Beau was in heaven!!  He LOVED it!!!  He just kept shoveling it in as fast as he could.  Malory helped him some, too!

 It was GOOD stuff!!

 We headed home that afternoon and were so worn out when we got home, we just got ready for bed.  No Greenwood fireworks for us this year;)

Pete sent us home with all kinds of stuff from his garden.  We got peppers, squash, onions, potatoes, and tons of tomatos.  The tomatos weren't from his garden, but they were from southern Arkansas.  I had to take this picture because it reminded me so much of how my MaMaw's counters would look when I was a kid.  Except, every surface in her house would look this way!!

We had such a fun weekend, but it was SO good to be home!  It was very weird not going to buy fireworks with the big boys, but lucky for them, Gabby brought them some after the 4th.  So, if you hear some random fireworks going off at some point this week, you will know where it is coming from:)
