We had such a nice 4th of July weekend! It was great for several reasons....
1. I treasure weekends when we are all home together! Seth travels so much.
2. The 4th was on a Friday, so it was a LONG weekend!
3. The weather was fantastic- very low humidity
4. We grilled out 4 nights in a row!
On Thursday night, we grilled pizzas (Hawaiian and a pepperoni/veggie). The kids love to help make it!
Thursday night, we went to where they park the steam engines and saw them all (they're getting ready for the parade the next morning). Here they are at the Thomas Lumber truck! :).
The fireworks started around 9:30, so the kids were up pretty late that night!
Friday morning, we headed out early for the Thomas/Mashburn 4th of July Steam Engine Parade!
Seth's buddy let James sit in his go cart
Sweet cousins waiting for the parade to begin!
James got to make the steam engine whistle!
3 generations of Thomas men

After naps, we went to Seth's parents pool and took a little ride in the convertible
Seth grilled a HUGE batch of ribs. They were quite tasty!
Such a man-meal
We let the kids have a sleep over and sleep with their glow in the dark flags (another late night- ha!)
On Saturday night, we had friends over to grill hamburgers! The dogs love Andrew.
Adelyn, Myles, and Tatem rode around the yard
The kids enjoyed hot dogs and brownies
On Sunday, I met my college roommate Christina for lunch at The Flying Biscuit in Buckhead. It was so good to see her and catch up!
I left James home with Seth. She has 3 sweet kids
We LOVE Trader Joe's! Had to hit it up since we were so close.
We spent Sunday afternoon/evening at his parents house swimming and grilling out again!
James swam and swam! Sometimes he just loves the pool!
Seth tossed him in! I'm not 100% sure he loved this or merely tolerated it!
Happy birthday to our nation! I enjoy celebrating the traditions and values that created our great country.
