4th of July 2011

This year for the 4th of July we were able to go visit Rich's sisters family in Nashville, TN. It was a lot of fun! The kids had a blast playing together and it was just really nice being together with family!

These two are great friends. Hopefully someday we will be able to live close so that they can be together more often!

Nate with Isaac and Lukas

Aunt Cameo with "baby" Spencer


I love Isaacs face in this one (the ADORABLE cute blonde behind Ryan)


Thank you Dollar Tree for some cheap entertainment...


These two boys are only 3 months apart...Either Leo has growing to do or Spencer needs to STOP growing!! Spencer looks huge compare to Leo, but someday I am sure it will even out and they will be best buds!!

For the Fourth of July we went into Nashville. Nate went early that morning and staked out awesome seats for us (Thank you Nate for sitting in like a 100 degree weather, by yourself for 5 hours so that we could have a place to sit for the show...you are AMAZING!!!) They had a free concert all day with free kids entertainment a street up. It was great!!



Dancing to the music

All day long there were various performers (some local, some trying to make it big, and some somewhat "big") and then to end the night the headliner was Darius Rucker. It was a great concert and the kids really enjoyed it too.

It was BY FAR the best firework show we have ever seen. Our seats were right above the River, and the fireworks were right above us. The Nashville Symphony accompainied the fireworks with made it even more awesome. If you ever have the chance to go to Nashville for the Fourth of July, GO!! You will not be disappointed!

We were able to finish off this trip with a quick rendezvous with my brother and his cute family. They live in Louisville and so we both drove halfway between Nashville and them. We met at Mammoth Caves and took a tour, had a picnic and enjoyed eachother. The problem with moving around so much is that you never know when you might see family again, so we take any opportunity we can!



I love that on both sides of our families there are cousins so close in age to my kids. No matter what family we are getting together with, there is always someone to play with. Love it!!
