This year was a very fun and enjoyable July 4th! We went camping the 1st-2nd of July up at Falls Lake with all of Dan's family that lives up here (Minus his dad, Laurel and Josh.) We had fun enjoying delicious hot dogs, brawtz, chips and watermelon. And finishing up with delicious marshmallows and s'mores. We then enjoyed an evening around the fire just chatting and having a good time. The next morning we got up and enjoyed a leisurely morning and then headed to the lake. The guys took at the kids 2yr and up to swim, while the ladies and the babies (who took naps, YAY) enjoyed chatting and relaxing. Around lunch time I realized we were by some mean ants who have bitten Bella 13 TIMES! Poor little girl, you can still see all the bites on her legs and arms. We then enjoyed some lunch and then headed home!
On the 3rd Fuquay-Varina had their firework show so Ben, Shalyse, Andrea, Josh, Hannah, Dan,Bella and I, went and enjoyed the show.
Then on the 4th the we crashed Ben and Shalyses' ward pancake breakfast. And enjoyed nice fluffy pancakes with scrambled eggs and sausage. They also had some fun crafts for the little ones so Andrea and Hannah had fun with that. Later the whole family(minus Laurel) got together for a late lunch earlier dinner. We grilled more hotdogs and brawtz, had watermelon, rainbow pasta salad, Julie's frog eye salad, and corn on the cob. For dessert we had a red, white and blue berry triffle. We enjoyed some homemade fireworks that Dan made while it rained. After it finished raining we lit up some fireworks that Vaughn an Becca had brought and some old ones we had. All the kids enjoyed playing with the sparklers. It was an enjoyable day spent with family.
On the 5th Vaughn and Becca came down again and we all went (minus Dan's dad) to the firework show that was here in Holly Springs. It had been raining and raining until about 10 min. before the show. We all stayed at the big house and had cookies until about 8:40 pm and then headed over. When we arrived at the park it was still raining but luckily it stopped 5 min. after we arrived. The rain scared off most of the people so we were able to get amazing seats and enjoyed a spectacular show with a nice cool breeze. It was a very enjoyable 4th of July, that lasted several days! Now that the holiday is over we are busy preparing for Dan's mom to arrive home tomorrow evening. ) I am sorry but our camera has died so we did not get any pics :( )

Sounds like you had a great time! (These Fourth of July weekends are several days of fun aren't they?). Sorry about the camera. We are thinking of you.
